NEW PAPER: Dartford warblers use nest materials based on local habitat, but material type doesn't affect insulation or breeding success—suggesting flexible, functional nest-building across environments. ➡️ vist.ly/3n7q4gd #ornithology #birds #reproduction #nest @shokosugasawa.bsky.social

Today is World Swift Day In a recent study, we found that swifts across Europe are incorporating plastic debris into their nests. We surveyed 500 nests across 7 European countries, and found plastic in many of them. doi.org/10.1016/j.sc... #UrbanEcology #PlasticPollution #Birds

Did you know? Installing nest cups in your eaves could save your local House Martins around 10 days of nest building time when they return from their long spring migrations! Discover the science ➡️ bit.ly/HouseMartinStudy #Springwatch #Ornithology 📷 House Martin nest by Doug Welch/BTO

New paper 🐣🌱🌷 Dartford warblers show high variation in nest materials: some nests are made of heather while others have a lot of grass. It seems birds can use different materials in different habitats without compromising nest insulation. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

As spring approaches, why not give birds a helping hand by leaving out nesting materials? Piles of twigs, moss & grass cuttings, or natural wool all go down well with busy nest builders! 🍃
