#Seabird fieldwork opportunity! The South Iceland Nature Research Centre (Náttúrustofa Suðurlands) are offering 2 paid field assistant positions (3 months) as well as volunteer positions (1 month minimum) for summer fieldwork with Iceland's nocturnal #seabirds starting ASAP 👇🧵

So lovely to have @Cardiff_RSPB to the woods to see our research and lovely that they enjoyed it so much. Amazing to also have our first record of Tawny owl breeding in the woods!

Lovely to chat to Richard about data and analysis. Trying to break down the fear and help people understand the results of their hard work better. #MitigationMatters #RStats #TrainingTuesday

In 2021 Skokholm Island Wheatears nested in a Storm Petrel nestbox in the wall leading north from the Obs. (We adapted our nestbox camera and got great footage). It’s in use again. This female (C38) had a nest on the other side of the wall in 2021. A case of nestbox envy?

A white-tailed eagle has been born in England for the first time in over 240 years! 🪺 This marks the first successful breeding attempt from our landmark project with Roy Dennis Foundation to return the lost species to England 🦅 Read about this special moment 👉 forestryeng.land/white-tailed-e…

BTO will soon be recruiting two new trustees to join us in 2024, but what is a trustee and how do they support our work? Trustees are volunteers who lead charities. Collectively a charity’s trustees make up its Board, which decides how the charity is run. (1/3)

Delighted that another Advanced Data Analysis course has gone well. Really interesting and insightful questions asked by Jenny and the other participants. For more info on courses visit eco-explore.co.uk/statistics-tra…

Happy International Bog Day! We love bogs! But does GOV.UK? It has been 11 months since Defra UK announced that it would ban the sale of bagged peat compost. Where is the legislation? We are calling upon the UK Government to follow through on its promise to ban peat sales.

As brilliant as the petrels and shearwaters are, I think the Great Black-backed Gulls are the most thrilling birds on Skokholm. This is where 'our' birds have been this last decade. Younger birds spend their time farthest from Skokholm, before gravitating back as they mature.

Less than 2 weeks until our next "Introduction to Data Analysis in R" course. Join others in learning: 👉How to handle data in R 👉Understand what General Linear Models are 👉 Create graphs of predicted data eco-explore.co.uk/statistics-tra… Guidebook provided as part of the course!

We've been granted judicial review – we're taking the government to court over the delay and abandonment of key Net Zero policies . At this crisis point for nature and climate we need robust leadership that listens to best informed advice , not short termism and politicking .
