A fascinating plenary at #EOU26 by Miriam Liedvogel (@genmig.bsky.social) Uncovering the mysteries of migration through work on blackcaps, and ending with an important reminder: the need for outreach and communication beyond academia, especially with children. Inspiring on many levels.

A huge thank you to all organisers, volunteers, presenters, poster contributors, and participants for making #EOU26 such a great conference! 🐦 Enjoy the rest of your time in Gdańsk, and have a safe journey home—no matter how far you’re travelling!

The discussions continued #EOU26 with session on human–wildlife interactions Patrycja Piotrowska on great tits across urban gradients, Marta Nartowicz on diet and anthropogenic particles, Aleksandra Syguła on UV films and bird collisions, and Leonardo Siddi on invasive plants and bird communities.

A great start to the sessions at #EOU26 Elia Sartoris on ecological focus areas and farmland birds, Johanne Burmeister on subarctic community change, David Tan (@mangrovepitta.bsky.social) on mangroves and reproductive isolation, and Basile Marteau on vernal pools and waterfowl breeding success.
