Abstract
This account of capture methods will be confined to birds and mammals because it is mainly with these groups that special techniques have been developed.
Dr Keith Eltringham took a PhD in marine ecology before joining the Wildfowl Trust in 1957. Later he became a lecturer in zoology at King’s College, London, leaving in 1967 for Uganda where he was appointed successively Director of the Nuffield Unit of Tropical Animal Ecology, Director of the Uganda Institute of Ecology, and Chief Research Officer of the Uganda National Parks. Both at Slimbridge and in Uganda he was involved in the capture of animals for marking purposes. Since 1973 he has been a lecturer in wildlife biology at Cambridge University.
