New paper out! Free-ranging dog (FRD) populations are increasing and are becoming a huge problem for wildlife conservation and people in several regions of the world, especially the Global South. FRDs are killing people and wildlife. In this perspective.. rdcu.be/dmQot

Thanks so much for putting this out there. It is so important that we talk about good supervision, and what that looks like, as well as the bad, which often gets more press

I have really enjoyed working w many fantastic EU students over the past few years & am saddened that this is only open to UK nationals. I'm sorry that this is where we are. But options to come from the EU for an internship are very much open

What a pleasure to explore data from red-billed choughs and visualize their behaviour as they are reintroduced to Dover by the team @WildwoodTrust

Productive time at @SwanseaUni last week working with @ELCShepard analysing the behaviour of reintroduced choughs with data collected using their 'Daily Diary' tags. Looking forward to getting some nice results! #redbilledchough #research #conservation #reintroduction

IMPORTANT news: 14 guillemots and 4 razorbills from the current mortality have all come back negative for #HPAIV from @APHAgovuk
This supports the idea that this mortality is related to prey availability. Is this the extreme marine heatwave's effects?

The Isle of May kittiwakes currently being hammered by Avian Influenza. Mortality was low until the last fortnight creating a thoroughly depressing situation. We aren't yet seeing mass mortality at the nests, as also noted in 2022. 1/2

The east coast of the U.K. is being hit badly by avian influenza for a second consecutive summer. Vulnerable populations are threatened further and it’s depressing to see. The blog has the story: isleofmaynnr.wordpress.com
