A new study confirms how the joint application of acoustic and vertical-looking radar data can be used to quantify family-level bird migration, with the case study of the thrush family. Read more on doi.org/10.1002/rse2.3… Baptiste Schmid Birgen Haest

Wave or stream? Raphaël Nussbaumer and co-authors Cornell Lab found hat seasonal bird migration resembles a stream where bird populations on the ground are continuously replaced by new individuals, thanks to data from radars and eBird observations. More on doi.org/10.1111/ecog.0…

Problem is that after a few years, most people normalize extreme climate as normal They also normalize disappearance of world Bees insects birds wildlife, marine life, forests wetlands and their replacement with a sterile barren lifeless landscape as normal

Les scientifiques suisses alertent sur la situation de la biodiversité en Suisse: elle est véritablement malmenée et nécessite plus d'actions et de moyens, contrairement à ce que prétend M. Albert Rösti, conseiller fédéral. #Biodiversité. blick.ch/fr/news/suisse…

This is an incredible honor and I still find myself a bit speechless. Thank you so much for this recognition in Frontiers in Ornithology. Very much looking forward to #BOU2025 - Birds / People / Science a combination I love IBED

Quasi-live updates from Europe’s largest animal migration! Thousands of #bats are migrating through Pape on the Baltic Sea coast in Latvia. Follow us for insights, and help spread the word by sharing and liking—this natural spectacle deserves attention! 🦇🌍 #Migration #BatCast

🗓️Hey friends, yesterday marked exactly 1 week until the global week of action against nuclear weapons spending. What do we want? No money for nuclear weapons! It's time the money wasted on nuclear weapons is put into improving lives and our planet. Join➡️ icanw.org/week_of_action

🌏80% of our world's population lives under light-polluted skies. How does that affect wildlife🦉, and what can we do about it? 🌆 #ThinkLandscape Via Global Landscapes Forum (GLF)

I have just arrived at Fundación Migres in Tarifa, S Spain, for 6 weeks of Vogelwarte_Science #insectmigration fieldwork as part of Birgen Haest's Move in Europe project! We have radars to monitor insects (!!) each side of the Straits of Gibraltar (1 in Ceuta, 1 in Tarifa) as

Patricia Homonylo, from Canada, was declared the 2024 Bird Photographer of the Year for her thought-provoking image ‘When Worlds Collide’. The photograph shows birds killed by colliding with windows and other reflective surfaces in urban areas.

See this blue blob on radar. These are birds stuck in the eye of Hurricane Helene!

Congratulations Nihon Hidankyo for this incredibly well deserved #NobelPeacePrize. The hibakusha, the inspirational survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, have worked tirelessly to raise awareness of the catastrophic impacts of nuclear weapons and push for their total elimination.

If you missed his killer talk at American Ornithological Society #AOS24, Ben Tonelli from the Morgan Tingley *find me on BlueSky* lab just brought out his paper in Ecology Letters testing the drivers of migratory #phenology for 222 Nearctic #bird species! Temperature and snowpack are most critical! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el…

A first for an Irish Robin! A great record of a Robin ringed in Calais in France in mid Sept and found in West Cork two weeks later. This is the first record of a Robin moving between France and Ireland! Thanks to Shona in Cork for contacting us when she found the ring!

📣The suspend hunting from 2021 has allowed a population recovery in Turtle Dove! A paper published in Conservation Letters today shows the population response in terms of breeding numbers after the first two seasons of the moratorium. Read more: pecbms.info/science-based-…

News from down under! Our latest study in Current Biology uses weather radar to uncover Australia’s unique bird migration patterns—smaller in scale but high variable in timing, direction, and magnitude. Link: cell.com/current-biolog…. #ornithology #BirdMigration #Australia

Intense #nocmig picked up on radar from the Southern Norwegian coast at Lista Bird Observatory last night. A Westerly movement out into the North Sea with birds taking advantage of the slack winds under a flabby low pressure system. Yellow are small birds & Orange medium sized.

NEW Decline of European bird populations continues especially birds of farmland. Pan-European Common Bird Monitoring Scheme (PECBMS) present updated wild bird indices 1980–2023. Data = 168 bird species from 30 countries⬇️ RSPB Science BirdLife Europe & Central Asia pecbms.info 📉🐦

Another NYE, another night of terror for millions of birds across the Netherlands. Last year we published (esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/fe…) about the massive impact of fireworks on birds. Thread with a damning animation of radar measurements during NYE countdown, below. 👇
