Raphael Leprince from France talks about identify and prioritise the nesting areas of Kentish plover in a Natural Park to define a conservation strategy. "Conservation of coastal-breeding plovers" Workshop. Wader Study Conference #IWSG2024 in Montpellier #IWSG_conf #shorebirds

It was a real pleasure to be invited to speak in this event, even if my french more rusty than antecipated.. Props to all non native colleagues that present their science in English! CNRS 🌍 CNRS Écologie & Environnement Wader Study @CESAM_Univ Eco Flyway Global Flyway Network

👏👏👏

Wouter Vansteelant Jen Gill (she/her) Fantastic to see Wouter Wouter Vansteelant receive his BOU Early Professional Award at IWSG 2024 in Montpellier last night Congrats Wouter! Thanks to José A.

🐣 Headstarting black-tailed godwits in the UK to give them a helping hand as part of Project Godwit - how did it go?? 📢 The results of the trial are reported and discussed in our new paper in Animal Conservation: tinyurl.com/3dxp5pyn #wader #translocation #ornithology

Congrats team for this recent contribution!!! 🥳

El otoño 🍂 viene cargado de sorpresas

Amazing evidence of dusk Peregrine attack on a Grey Plover, while the bird was flying at an altitude of 3000 metres (nearly 10,000 feet). A short thread 1/5 Paper by Michiel P. Boom et al: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec… #ornithology #peregrine #waders #shorebirds

Congrats Miguel Angel! Great contribution and surely very useful in the framework of the Iberalex project.

A lovely jar in the shape of a hedgehog from 5500 years ago...

New Ringing Report from BTO has updated longevity record for Black-tailed Godwit 👇 Lower age than other big #waders but increasing, thanks to sightings of a colour-ringed bird at RSPB Frampton Marsh 🌍 WWT Welney #RSPBSnettisham etc. More here: wadertales.wordpress.com/2018/01/16/wad… #ornithology

Anna Vorenkamp just started PhD on bar-tailed #godwits in #WaddenSea with @RoelandBom at Wadden & Delta Centre. Her work is part of #WAAKVOGELS project Waddenfonds with fieldwork on #Griend. Today she met a male ringed 26 years ago at Schiermonnikoog, Anne being at least 2 years younger!

Depressing to once again report that bird populations continue to plummet. We are seeing some species slide towards extinction in the UK- something has to give theguardian.com/environment/20…

Maybe it's time to abandon Elon Musk's platform, formerly Twitter. nature.com/articles/s4146…
