Assessing exposure to wind turbines of a migratory raptor through its annual life cycle across continents | Biological Conservation | sciencedirect.com/science/articl… | #ornithology

Using locations of >1800 colonies and tracks from 354 individuals, we assessed wind turbine exposure for Lesser Kestrels in EU and Africa.

26% of the EU pop has at least 1 turbine around colony. Sadly, Natura2000 fails to mitigate potential impact

And so it begins. The 2024 breeding season fieldwork started properly today with the team arriving on the Isle of May. Sunshine and guillemots. The hieroglyphics commence with guillemot ring recording. These have survived the winter. UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology

With impeccable timing we've arrived to find our first study species on eggs
,laid today. Spot the Shag. Given the devastating winter for the east coast shag population its no surprise this is a month later than 2023 but earlier than we were predicting given how few have nests.

it's an incredibly sad day today for all of us here and across the marine mammal community worldwide as we say farewell to our beloved Simon Northridge who died suddenly on the 17th April. Simon leaves an amazing legacy of a career dedicated to the conservation of marine mammals

Nice to see a large group of shags on Tiree. This has been a rare sight on the east coast in recent months due to the storm related mortality over the winter.

At last, published in Movement Ecology, our paper on Arctic Skua migration! This paper has been about 8 yrs in the making, is the result of a large international collaboration and was a chapter in my PhD thesis. In this multi-colony ... rdcu.be/dCbRS #teamskua 1/9

PhD vacancy ‘The effects of multiple stressors on waterbirds in the Flow Country’ with me based eri working with RSPB Science Deadline 29th April

Nice group of kittiwakes getting organised at nesting tower next to NINAnature office in #Tromso .

They are dotted about all over the town in small groups. Tone Reiertsen and colleagues are monitoring them.

Here for #MARCIS meeting but this was a nice distraction.

Extremely powerful depictions of decline of #seabirds in Norway through historical and current photos laid side by side by Signe Christensen-Dalsgaard and colleagues.
