It must be disconcerting for breeding 'limosa' Black-tailed Godwits at Welney - trying to get on with egg laying etc., with swirling flocks of 'islandica' preparing to fly to Iceland in a couple of weeks. wadertales.wordpress.com/2016/04/11/g... Blog from 7 April 2016 🎂9️⃣ #ornithology

1/2 Yesterday I completed my second ever #triathlon. I spent the first 38 years of my life being terrified of even getting in to the water. Usually I prefer to keep this account for science, nature and ornithology related content but this feels like the kind of achievement worth celebrating!

Interesting to hear about this work highlighting the role of aquatic habitats and their invertebrate communities in providing quality food for Spotted Flycatcher. #bou2025 #Ornithology

Great talk by @juliancap.bsky.social #BOU2025 demonstrating that gulls and storks move plastic particles from landfill sites to wetlands in Southern Spain. Very interesting example and important consideration for waste management policy. #Ornithology

The plastics ingested by gulls and storks at landfills ending up in wetlands 😨 #BOU2025

1/🧵 One of the main drivers of 🌍 change is pollution Birds foraging in landfills eats #plastics that egest in natural areas by pellets in a process known as biovectoring We’re at the #BOU2025 presenting how we compare and quantify the biovector role of some aquatic species towards a natural area

1/6. Are modern contaminants causing eggshell thinning in birds? In the first chapter of my PhD I have completed a systematic review evaluating whether 6 contaminants cause eggshell thinning by assessing the volume of & agreement in the literature. #BOU2025 #SESH5 #Ornithology #Ecology 🌍 🧪

T His is really great, the BOU are hosting their 2025 conference on Bsky with talks in about half a dozen posts tagged #BOU2025. Absolutely worth keeping an eye on, there's loads of really interesting and incredible ornithology work being featured
