Fantastic penultimate plenary by Dr Rose Thorogood at #EOU2025, highlighting social information use in birds, and why the study of information ecology is important in a changing world. @eounion.bsky.social @informedbirds.bsky.social

The sun was shining for today's #EOU2025 excursion to #SouthStackRSPB Reserve. This stunning coastline of rolling heathland and rugged sea cliffs made the perfect backdrop for watching choughs, peregrines, kittiwakes and wheatears! Just look at that water! 😍 #Ornithology @eounion.bsky.social

Prof Will Creswell kicks off #EOU2025 with a fantastic plenary on the challenges of avian migration - for birds and for scientists! They also showcased the APLORI research institute, which has made huge successes in training the next generation of ornithologists in Nigeria

I've made it to #EOU2025 in Bangor, and I'm starting with the #BOUatEOU symposium on #WoodlandBirds. Lovely talk by Ken Smith, who's been studying the nesting habits of #LesserSpottedWoodpeckers in the UK over decades. #CitizenScience @lesserspotnet.bsky.social @bou.org.uk @eounion.bsky.social
