BK(4X986)

Este ejemplar de origen alemán, lleva un tipo de anilla diferente a lo que estamos habituados a ver en las espátulas. Es negra, de forma octogonal y con inscripción en blanco. No es propiamente una anilla de lectura a distancia, pero posibilita su lectura mucho más fácilmente que las metálicas tradicionales. Este tipo de anilla la hemos visto en Cigüeñas y algún Águila pescadora.
