On #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, let’s make our urban spaces and communities bird-friendly. As cities grow and natural habitats shrink, migratory birds are losing places they need to rest and feed. Together we can create safe #SharedSpaces and help protect migratory birds: www.worldmigratorybirdday.org

Celebrated #UN Day in #Bonn - Germany's United Nations city today!   🙏THANK YOU BONN for your support and for allowing us to also highlight #WorldMigratoryBirdDay AND #InternationalGirlsDay on Bonn's market square today!

Today IUCN has officially declared the Slender-billed Curlew extinct, marking the first known global extinction of a formerly widespread migratory bird species whose range included mainland Europe, North Africa, and West Asia. Read more here ⬇️ www.unep-aewa.org/fr/node/6632

Shout out to Swifts this #WorldMigratoryBirdDay! These aerial acrobats have left our skies for winter, but fewer Swifts are returning to Scotland in spring each year. You can help 👉 Join our call to get Swift bricks in the Natural Environment Bill: action.rspb.org.uk/page/177329/...

Today is #WorldMigratoryBirdDay !🌏🐦 Celebrate the wonder of bird migration by birdwatching in your local area – every bird counts!🙌 You can contribute to conservation science and raise vital funds!🔎 Want to get involved? There’s still time! Find out more👉 www.birdlife.org/getcounting/ #WMBD2025

Twice a year, we celebrate #WorldMigratoryBirdDay 🐦🌍 Reflecting the rhythm of bird migration, it is our chance to safeguard birds and create bird‑friendly #SharedSpaces. 🏡 Have a closer look at this year’s ambassador birds 👇 🧪 https://www.worldmigratorybirdday.org/#WorldMigratoryBirdDay#SharedSpaces

It’s #WorldMigratoryBirdDay! 🌍 Every year, migratory birds take on seriously epic journeys. From our UK coasts and wetlands, to the forests of West Africa, we’re working to protect and restore the habitats they rely on along their routes. Read more: www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...

The @ramsar.org #WetlandsCOP15 wrapped up in Victoria Falls with new global commitments to protect and restore wetlands which are essential for migratory birds, biodiversity, and local communities. 🦆 🏞️ Read how these decisions will strengthen flyway conservation: www.unep-aewa.org/en/news/wetl...

Great example from #Chicago of how to make cities and buildings more #BirdFriendly  Thanks @catrineinhorn.bsky.social & @nytimes.com for highlighting this success story so fitting to this year's #WorldMigratiryBirdDay theme! #ForNature www.nytimes.com/video/climat...

Thank you @ingerandersen.bsky.social @unep.org for supporting #WorldMigratoryBirdDay and for helping to raise awareness of the importance of countries to work together to conserve migratory birds!

​In Bermuda, conservationists are using hacked GoPro cameras to monitor the critically endangered Bermuda petrel ​ www.theverge.com/tech/642950/...

In "Global assessment of marine plastic exposure risk for oceanic birds" @bethanyclark.bsky.social, @mariemrouyer.bsky.social, @katboothjones.bsky.social, et al. note that understanding where #seabirds encounter plastic is crucial. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I've been asked for the layperson's summary of this paper, so here it goes: Because distinct groups of #seabirds across large regions like the North Atlantic grow and shrink together, conservationists in different countries also need to work together.

In "Consequences of cross-season demographic correlations for population viability," the authors establish positive correlations between population growth rates for three distinct groups of Atlantic puffins. t.co/vFyPXFI3yD

It was so nice to see #WorldMigratoryBirdDay featured on the front page of the UN website again this year! Thank you to all involved in making this happen! #ForNature #WMBD2024 www.un.org/en/delegate/...
