Hugh Boyd knew knots from the tundra breeding grounds. When employed by the Wildfowl Trust he was also was 1st to estimate annual survival. This work in Ardea convinced us that ringing & relying on recaptures was too slow. It made us start colour-ringing. ardea.nou.nu/ardea_show_art…

Global Flyway Network is very sorry to hear that in Melbourne our friend & research associate Ken G. Rogers peacefully passed way on 18 Feb at age 81. As a professional statistical modeller he made key contributions to bird projects worldwide. He was such fun 2 work with. Thank you, Ken!

A shout out to T. Piersma Global Flyway Network from University of Groningen for knitting together this essay in ARDEA_journal about #NDVI and it's use as a proxy for food in #ornithology. A good and easy read for everyone using or planing to use NDVI as a proxy: doi.org/10.5253/arde.v…
