During April/May, over half a million Whimbrel will fly from Africa to Iceland, many stopping off in Ireland/UK. How do winter conditions affect breeding success? Blog based on paper by Camilo Carneiro: wadertales.wordpress.com/2021/01/30/win… Published 30 Jan 2021 🎂4️⃣ #ornithology

Unsurprisingly, "How are migration sites connected?" was the most popular #WaderTales blog in January. wadertales.wordpress.com/2025/01/09/how… Combining ringing, colour-ringing and tacking data to identify hot spots for a species - especially in less well-birded countries. #ornithology #waders

From inland ponds to coastal lagoons, #wetlands are paramount drivers of biodiversity, social and economic values. We urge to create awareness of how important for climate change adaptation #wetlands are if we are to protect them for years to come #WorldWetlandsDay

Incredible ringing session in the Tagus ricefields this wkd. Ca. 100 birds caught, almost 30 GPS deployed (mostly bt-godwits & 1 on lapwing), 50+ cr combos & 2 recaptures (NL & DE). Great collaborative work w FR & NL colleagues. #biodiversity #conservation #wetlands #ornithology

We are on our yearly Spain-research trip for the Bl.tailed #godwit for Global Flyway Network and University of Groningen in the #Doñana but can't avoid the #Flamingo's.....

Why care. . ?

Waiting for your date to turn up? Is she dead or late? Synchrony in arrival times in Black-tailed Godwits: wadertales.wordpress.com/2017/02/09/bla… Blog from 9 Feb 2017 🎂8️⃣ #ornithology

Yday Roeland Bom shared what he has been doing since joining Eco Flyway in late december, with his family tagging along. Feeding #ecology, #migratory #behaviour, #phenology & #conservation. Super exciting stuff! Global Flyway Network CESAM - Centre of Environmental and Marine Studies UAResearch Wadden & Delta Centre University of Groningen

The #Icelandic Bl.t.#godwit's started to feed in good numbers (1400) along the Waddenseacoast, Wieringen, Nths. With N-winds from last days + drop of temp, you need to forage, following the tide form west to east to eat as much bivalves as you can! Global Flyway Network Graham Appleton

Delighted for Hugo Ferreira who successfully defended his #PhD thesis at UAResearch on the demography, migration & breeding ecology of Eurasian #spoonbills. Congrats also to Jocelyn Champagnon & Tamar Lo, grt collaboration! Eco Flyway Global Flyway Network CESAM - Centre of Environmental and Marine Studies Tour du valat

Last friday we had the pleasure to host & learn more about Ana Sanz Aguilar work across multiple systems: seabirds, waterbirds, vultures & reptiles. And how using CMR methods can be extremely useful in #biodiversity #conservation! Eco Flyway Global Flyway Network IMEDEA (UIB-CSIC) UAResearch

Some waders nest in the open (e.g. Golden Plover) Other waders hide their nests (e.g. Redshank) What's the best strategy? WaderTales blog from 17 March 2020 🎂5️⃣ wadertales.wordpress.com/2020/03/17/whe… paper by Becky Laidlaw et al. #ornithology

É um dia triste para a conservação da natureza... Espanha reverteu a proibição da caça ao lobo ibérico. Aqui fica a prova de que o voto favorável de Ministério do Ambiente e Energia à desproteção do lobo a nível europeu prejudica a sua conservação em Portugal... cnnportugal.iol.pt/espanha/caca/e…

Undergraduate studying ecology or conservation? Lecturer teaching these subjects? Here is a playlist of 27 three minute videos, each explaining a fundamental concept. Hope it is useful. Say if any gaps you would like filled youtube.com/playlist?list=…

It's nearly Whimbrel time! Most #Whimbrel flying from W Africa to #Iceland stop off in Ireland/Britain, on the way north. More here: wadertales.wordpress.com/2018/11/21/ice… Numbers seem to be declining: wadertales.wordpress.com/2025/02/20/ice… #shorebirds #ornithology #phenology

Latest WaderTales blog reviews what we are learning from tracked #waders #shorebirds: wadertales.wordpress.com/2025/05/06/mak… But are researchers making full use of the data that birds collect for them? Whimbrel map from Global Wader #ornithology

Tracking - what are we learning about #waders #shorebirds? LOTS! wadertales.wordpress.com/2025/05/06/mak… One Whimbrel made all of these journeys. The 'Global Wader' project is encouraging scientists to archive this sort of information, so that it is available for future analyses. #ornithology

Latest Wadertales by Graham Appleton highlights valuable lessons from combining #wader #tracking data & encourages to properly archive such datasets, so that these can be used beyond their original purpose to further extent our knowledge #biodiversity wadertales.wordpress.com
