Great #scicomm project led by my colleague Signe Christensen-Dalsgaard illustrating the dramatic declines of #seabird populations in Norway. The article is in Norwegian but the photos speak for themselves. www.nrk.no/trondelag/xl... #ornithology #birds

Really cool paper by @anflack.bsky.social’s group providing strong support for the “exploration-refinement” hypothesis - the idea that learning shapes how individual #migration routes develop in long-lived species. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #ornithology

It’s really great to @theseabirdgroup.bsky.social join us over here in the Bluesky! Looking forward to some great #seabirds posts and #ornithology from this pioneering society. #birds #birding #ukbirding
