5 bat species. 3 countries. 1 Current Biology paper: bit.ly/2qnMNF2 Video by Stefan Greif.

A straw coloured fruit bat takes off at Kasanka National Park with a new, light weight long term #ICARUS GPS tag. This amazing tech will tell us where these bats migrate & show how important they are to African ecosystems.

Check out these amazing PhD opportunities and spread widely...

Already in full swing for the last field work of the year with Harish Prakash in India, and finally - after a week - my luggage will arrive...

Happy New Year! Finally back for holidays in #Aotearoa - the „land of the long white cloud“. Ended the old year with a fluting N brown #kiwi and started the new one with a booming #bittern ☺️👍 #NZbirds

Little blue #penguin (Eudyptula minor) waiting for the right wave to catch... ;) Uncommon during the day, they usually come to shore in the evening. Once widespread, they are now declining, major factor likely roaming dogs. #NZbirds #korora Avibase (Denis Lepage)

Yay! Two of our studies Acoustic & Functional Ecology Group came out yesterday! With Daniel Lewanzik on #stealthecholocation in barbastelle #bats in Functional Ecology, and with @EllaLatt et al on passive listening and beam steering in greater horseshoe bats in Journal of Experimental Biology! Let me summarize them here

English collective nouns for groups of birds are sheer poetry: a parliament of owls, a mischief of magpies, a squabble of seagulls, a cast of hawks, a charm of goldfinches: we could do this all day! 😊ow.ly/IwSc30aXQel Audubon Society bit.ly/2BhbyWx @britbirdlovers

Helpful for all of us who speak English as a second language. Cute #infographic teaches us the difference between "poisonous" and "venomous". I actually had to laugh at the poor frog... Source: buff.ly/2J0E2Zz

The heart (L), testes (middle) and brain (R) of a cock pheasant at mid mating season. Easy to see where his priorities lie at this time of year.

Excellent article in The New York Times about the situation of #shorebirds (by John Fitzpatrick & Nathan Senner)! The outstanding graphics/visuals are a delight. x.com/CornellBirds/s…
