1/6 #BOUsci23 #SESH1 Since the 1980s, declines in European bird populations have been greatest in common and abundant species; many of which are migrants. Here we present a framework to help target conservation actions for these declining populations.

New 📄 📣: Fab new paper using @_EURING ringing data to explore the geography of demographic synchrony in European land birds, and its implications for abundance synchrony | Ecology Letters | doi.org/10.1111/ele.70… @CatMorrison18 @JenGill3 @ueaceec

The deadline for these exciting seasonal roles with @RSPBScience is fast approaching! Go, go, go 🏃 #ornithology #seabirds

Early bird registration for BOU2025 closes on 3rd February. Make sure you don't miss out! @IBIS_journal #birds #Ornithology

Ever reported a colour-ringed Black-tailed Godwit? This important paper could not have been written without you: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… Summarised as a #WaderTales blog: wadertales.wordpress.com/2025/01/09/how… #ornithology #waders #shorebirds

Over 18,000 people read WaderTales blogs during 2024, to learn more about shorebird research. During the year, we lost another Curlew wadertales.wordpress.com/2024/12/12/lea… And added NINE shorebird species to the RED LIST wadertales.wordpress.com/2024/12/08/bro… #ornithology #shorebirds #waders
