#lekking is past its peak and we're excited to start the nest searches next week, not as excited as #ruffs when they see a female and a satellite approach ❤️‍🔥

I look forward to chapter two of the field season: treasure hunting for #nests. It was a pleasure to observe the #ruffs' #behaviour in their natural #habitat. A piece of music to describe the mood of the ruffs ;) tinyurl.com/jumpforjoyruff

Baltic Dunlin last night. Female entering her nest about to hatch. Only few of them left in #BothianBay #BalticSea

Conserving coastal meadows in the Baltics is essential to keep their adorable inhabitants. Very important monitoring and conservation by Kari Koivula Veli-Matti Pakanen Jelena Belojevic Simon_vandepitte and the entire team. More efforts are urgently needed.

Keskikesää. Pyörtänöt kukkivat. Metsäviklopoikue jossain tuolla hätäilevän emon takana ojassa. #greensandpiper #wildflowers

Hernekertun poikaspesä risuuntuneen alppikärhön uumenissa. Pojat, ainakin neljä kitaa näkyy, kohta lähtökunnossa. Risuuntukoot kärhö minun puolestani edelleen. #LesserWhitethroat #Clematis #gardenbirds

Philosophers say that studying philosophy makes people more rigorous, careful thinkers. But is that that true? In a large dataset (N = 122,352 students) Michael Vazquez and I find evidence that it is!🧵

Uhanalaisen hömötiaisen vähenemisen taustalla on hakkuista johtuva kohonnut talvikuolleisuus. "1990-luvulla noin 65 % vanhoista hömötiaisista selvisi hengissä talvesta, mutta 2010-luvulla enää 55 %", kertoo Veli-Matti Pakanen. #UniOulu #hömötiainen #hakkuut oulu.fi/fi/uutiset/uha…
