Another unreal day tagging and ringing Curlews, this time at our second site of Porthmarnock 🇮🇪 Subzero temps make the catches all the better ❄️ @ExeterMarine Steph Trapp #MPA #research

Day 4 of wader catching in Fingal - lovely day for it! 🥶 Now all we need is some birds... Josie Hewitt Clare Addyman Alex Starace University of Exeter CEC Fingal County Council

The look of absolute love 🧡 A very successful day for our oyster catcher #ringing and #tagging mission! Hopefully tonight mist netting at the same location will bring us some Godwit & Redshank luck 🍀 Steph Trapp @ExeterMarine

Unrealistically proud of you guys for smashing out the last couple days of fieldwork and getting all the tags deployed for all the different species and areas being monitored Sharon Steph Trapp Josie Hewitt ❄️💙

Frozen jellyfish on the estuary this morning. #brrr 🥶

Much less picturesque #fieldwork this time around, habitat quality #sampling in each of our selected protected estuaries 🌊 Though sunshine and above 0 temperatures are an absolute treat ☀️ Steph Trapp @ExeterMarine

Seeing a great range of migration destinations in this season's Ornitela tagged oystercatchers. All but one have now left our #Dublin winter study sites and will be getting ready to breed 🐣 @StuBearhop KRCEcological 🇺🇦 Xav Harrison Fingal County Council

Taking a step towards better protection of nature at North Bull Island, Dub. A refuge to thousands of wintering waterbirds, nesting birds, unique plants, seals, snails, amphibians etc. Certainly worth protecting! Tell Dublin City Council your thoughts on it. irishtimes.com/ireland/2023/0…

Presenting my first ever poster at #EOU2023 - some early analysis on links between winter range urbanisation and migratory behaviour in oystercatchers 🏙 @StuBearhop @xav

Oystercatcher THE at Kilcrea , Donabate, Co. Dublin during the week. Ringed in January 2022 as a juvenile on nearby Portrane beach.

HUGE NEWS: After 25 years of tireless campaigning, we're thrilled to announce the closure of industrial sandeel fishing in the English North Sea! 🎉   This is a big win for seabirds like Puffins & Kittiwakes.  Thank you to all our supporters who made their voices heard 💙

One of our Dublin juvs from last season has ditched Ireland in favour of Devon - spotted here one month after capture in Oct 2022, and back again this winter. Thanks Richard Moore South West wildlife for posting your sighting! @McIntosh_Aimee KRCEcological 🇺🇦 Luke Ozsanlav-Harris Josh Lynton-Jenkins @StuBearhop

After >20 years of tracking, our ringed black-tailed godwits have revealed that the autumn and winter sites used by juveniles are (nearly always) the ones they will use throughout their lives.
