Abstract : The dataset “Ringing or bird recapture” is a publication edited by the Institute for Nature and Forest Conservation (ICNF) and was created with the aim of compiling all data on ringing or recapture of birds in Portugal and respective homologous centres in other countries.

It has an inventory of 353 different species/subspecies, 428042 records and covers a period from 1936 to 2016.
This geographic information refers to the collection and processing of data provided by people and entities that carry out ringing and recapture activities in Portugal, centralizing the information necessary to meet the requests of homologous centres in other countries, namely in Europe through the European Union for Bird Ringing (EURING), a supranational body responsible for coordinating the activities carried out by the different ringing centres in the countries of Europe.

Data collection is done in the application called "Ring Access", which is a program for the management of ringing information, controls, and ring recovery. The data format is in principle EURING 2000 with some national adjustments.

The activity of ringing birds for scientific purposes is regulated in Decree-Law Nº 140/99, of April 24 (Article 18), with the new wording given by Decree-Law Nº 49/2005, of February 24, which transposes the Community Directives 'Birds' (Directive 2009/147/CE, of 30 November, which revoked Directive 79/409/CEE) and 'Habitats' (92/43/CE) into national legislation.
Funding : The preparation of this resource for publication through GBIF was supported by Project PORBIOTA—Portuguese E-Infrastructure for Information and Research on Biodiversity (POCI-01-0145-FEDER-022127), under the Operational Thematic Program for Competitiveness and Internationalization (POCI), under the PORTUGAL 2020 Partnership Agreement, through the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) and FCT.
