Tjaldurinn er einn af einkennisfuglum Íslands. Hann er viðfangsefni Sölvi R.Vignisson í doktorsnámi í líffræði en rannsókn hans beinist að farhegðun fugla og áhrifum slíkrar hegðunar á lýðfræði fuglanna. hi.is/frettir/farker…

The oystercatcher is a common sight in Iceland, instantly recognisable with its striking black & white plumage, long, orange beak, & long, orange legs. Sölvi R.Vignisson studies the migratory behaviour of the birds & how this behaviour affects their demography. english.hi.is/news/bird_migr…

'Soga' the Whimbrel arrived in #Iceland at 0513 on 9 June. What an adventure! Will it now fly west to the breeding site used in 2020 and 2021?

Many birdwatchers visit #Iceland in the summer. Winter birding is somewhat different! Results of national #Oystercatcher count became #WaderTales blog on 12 June 2018 🎂 wadertales.wordpress.com/2018/06/12/mis… #waders #shorebirds #ornithology #phenology

Now our lost Oystercatcher is travelling around Lofoten Norway! Second summer of being lost in Norway looking for his love from Keflavík. #lofoten #migration #shorebirds

Can anyone tell me to which scheme this colour-ringed #sanderling belongs? It's not registered with Wader Study and not on cr-birding.org either. Two orange rings left, one tall orange ring right tibia. Photo: Rob Speirs, 14 April 2023, Landguard Point, Suffolk, UK.

Looks like there is going to be another #volcanic #eruption in #Iceland. It's not going to be under a glacier so no ash - this time. Volcanic ash fertilizes central Iceland - good news for breeding #waders: wadertales.wordpress.com/2015/09/28/the… But not at the time! wadertales.wordpress.com/2016/12/20/bla…

Not an oystercatcher but nice little add on to the field season.

This article could be copy/pasted with minor change, Iceland instead of Norway. Poultry is not the concern… the populations we are legally obligated to protect are! We are barely monitoring the populations nor taking AI samples from dead birds. birdlife.org/news/2023/08/0…

What if scientific journals would have such nice photos?! Golli - Kjartan Þorbjörnsson joined me in the field this summer to caputure photos of my little furballs and their parents. I might just copy paste Erik’s Pomrenke story at @Iceland_Review into my Phd intro! What a writer!

"There's a lot to fit into a year if you're a #Whimbrel" A summary of seven years of fascinating research by Camilo Carneiro, published on 22 Sep 22 🎂 wadertales.wordpress.com/2022/09/22/a-w… #waders #shorebirds #ornithology #phenology

What do we know about #Oystercatcher migration? On this day in 2015, this #WaderTales blog was published, encouraging people to look out for colour rings. 🎂 wadertales.wordpress.com/2015/10/02/mig… Thread about what we now know, thanks to birdwatchers 👇 #waders #shorebirds #ornithology

The research is continuing, as Sölvi R.Vignisson tries to work out more about the behaviour of youngsters and their recruitment to the breeding population. Please keep reporting colour-rings! Thanks! #waders #shorebirds #ornithology
