Defintely three sand plover species: Siberian Sand-Plover C. mongolus, Tibetan Sand-Plover C. atrifrons, and Greater Sand Plover C. leschenaultii! Our paper in "Ornithology" shows that the lesser sand-plovers are not closest relatives according to enome-wide data Yang Liu

I didn't expect this to synchronise with breakout of war and economic collapse, but some positive news for bird people: the global dataset many of you helped to collect is now finally released - onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el… - as part of a special issue onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14610248/2… #T10K

Isabelline Wheatear the days are getting short, more time for painting..

The report of the Swiss Rarities Committe for 2021 is available online! No less than three first records for the country were obtained: Western Sandpiper, Steppe Eagle and Bonelli’s Eagle. #birdwatching ala-schweiz.ch/images/stories…

Another wheatear... Rusty-breasted Wheatear Oenanthe frenata in fresh autumn plumage. A species endemic to the Horn of Africa, usually treated as conspecific with Arabian bottae, but nowadays sometimes split... pending analyses of genetic data of bottae

First encounter with a cichlid SUPERFLOCK. We witnessed 2 speciation events in 5 minutes!
