Curlew moult lasts a long time. New paper in @waderstudy.bsky.social journal by Forster et al shows primary moult lasts an average of four months. www.waderstudygroup.org/article/19691/ General blog about moult: wadertales.wordpress.com/2017/09/18/t... #ornithology

Today IUCN has officially declared the Slender-billed Curlew extinct, marking the first known global extinction of a formerly widespread migratory bird species whose range included mainland Europe, North Africa, and West Asia. Read more here ⬇️ www.unep-aewa.org/fr/node/6632

Great day yesterday at Lauwersmeer National Park with the International Wader Study Group @waderstudy.bsky.social Highlight of the day being the Spotted Redshank Tringa erythropus #IWSG2025

Briefly introducing the results of our research on the long-term population trend of the Kentish plover in Spain in the International Wader Study Group Conference 2025, Groningen (Netherlands) #IWSG2025. @waderstudy.bsky.social #waders #shorebirds #plovers

Great three days in the conference of @waderstudy.bsky.social in @rug.nl. Good science, nice discussions and very friendly and encouraging atmosphere! Thank you for the organisers and all the participants! Delighted to see so many early career-researchers across the globe.

Great short video on farming and waders in the UK, from @rspbengland.bsky.social #waders #shorebirds youtu.be/EG0EQLOKfsI?...

#iwsg2025 Is over, and I already missed it. Happy that so many people wanted to chitchat with me about my vaporware poster about 3D nest morphology, or about our( @dillensegerg.bsky.social ) project about Andean shorebird breeding timing! See you next year @waderstudy.bsky.social !
