Interference filter CCD images have been obtained in Hα and [O III] λ5007 for all population I WR stars in the LMC and SMC using the 2.4 m telescope at Siding Spring Observatory ANU. We have found new ring nebulae in the LMC around Br#13, 25, 31 and 56. Ring nebulae around Br 31 and Br 13 most probably represent stellar ejecta. Nebula around Br 56 is a filamentary wind-blown bubble type.
