I've talked with half of you half as much as I would like, but it has a been a wonderful #EOUfledglings2024 meeting! Lovely to meet such wonderful people to share beers with! See you all soon! #ornithology #prague #EOU

Crazy to think this gal wwe worked with last year, near Oulu, decided to move to Kazakhstan! Will she stay there? Who knows!

In our new paper, led by Juan Serratosa, 1704 deaths of 45 large, migratory bird species we tracked show that human-caused deaths are more than natural deaths. Majority of deaths are from electrocution (40.5%), illegal killing (21.7%) & poisoning (16.3%): sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Partners in crime in North Ostrobothnia. Lapwings and curlews are already courting, will they keep going in the incoming frosty weeks, or will they pause? We'll see! #shorebird #Finland #Ornithology

With the end of the cold spell, lapwings season is accelerating around Oulu. When not nesting in the barren, desolated landscape of a ploughed field, finding nests is quite a challenge! #shorebirds #lapwing #ornithology

[Please RT] Waders can be tough cookies to photograph while incubating, and even a not so discreet bird like this black-tailed godwit can blend in! Would you like to joing the project? That's your chance! #shorebird #ornithology #camouflage

Thanks Guillaume DILLENSEGER for this wrap-up of some nice fieldwork memories!

#ruffs eggs have been showing an increase in aberrant egg color this year across multiple field sites - has any of the #wader researchers noticed such a trend? #eggblue 😁

I am so tempted to get this to wear at Evolution (or TAing evolution)

Speciation process in brood parasites could be influenced by the recognition abilities and rejection mechanisms of their hosts. A new hypothesis on how hosts can affect evolutive trajectory in parasites. Read my mini-review in J. of Avian Biology now available: doi.org/10.1111/jav.03…

It's summer, and migratory birds are already on the move! Thanks to detailed GPS tracking, we can admire their complex journeys and gain crucial insights into their habitat use. Look at the trajectory of a #CommonRedshank ringed in 🇨🇿 this spring, now in Camargue 🇫🇷 | #HABITRACK

Is violence the answer? You can help answer this timeless question!

Migration has started (again). The Teros/Southern Lapwings of Rio Grande, Argentina, breeding at the southernmost tip of their distribution, are flying to their wintering areas. They usually fly straight until the edge of the Andean mountains, in the region of Coyhaique #scicomm

As many other, I've migrated to bluesky. If by chance you're following me, please consider moving from this hellscape. Eventually I'll also post something there, so you can follow me for bird related stuff!

[Please RT] Our collaborative project exploring the link between nesting phenology and substrate property, is still ongoing, with collected data in Asia and America. You monitor ground-nesting birds in the tropics? Then consider joining us! Contact me :) #ornithology #birds
