Banding at Tullymorgan commenced in 1987 with the project “to monitor the birds in the Tullymorgan area” Present at the first banding were Bill Lane and Greg Clancy helping David Geering train David Page and Geoff Richards who has continued to carry on the project. In 2003 the site was made co-operative number 8534.
