Wonderful evening last night with our Manx Farmland Birds Officer @Robert_K_Fisher dazzling for Woodcock and Skylark on a Manx farm. Reinforced the value of unsprayed winter stubbles as a winter habitat for farmland birds #agrienvironment #manxnature 🐦🇮🇲🌱

Some idea of the scale of Goldcrest movements across Europe can be see by exploring the online Eurasian African Bird Migration Atlas. Each of these lines reveals the movement of a Goldcrest. #section1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">migrationatlas.org/node/1837#sect

It’s a foul day on the #IsleofMan, so I hope these stunning photos of #TreeSparrows taken yesterday by @manxmannin at one of our Tree Sparrow Recovery Project supplementary feeding sites will cheer up your day. You can see they are enjoying the white millet from @Vinehousefarm👌

Last night I was surveying farmland birds in a stubble field on the #IsleofMan 🇮🇲. I ringed 18 #Skylark out of 25 seen & 1 #JackSnipe out of 4 seen. These habitats are fantastic areas for birds to feed and roost throughout the winter months. Ringed under @_BTO & @iomdefa licence.

We now have eggs! If you are planning to visit @CalfObs please keep to the marked pathways and avoid entering any of the nesting colonies. Please also use the yellow disinfectant mats at each harbour to sanitise footwear and assist in our efforts to limit the threat of avian flu.

A raft of rafts! Thank you to the wonderful volunteers who helped on Sunday to prepare the tern rafts for launching. We still need to locate at least four barrels for the final raft. Do know anywhere on the Island that could provide these? Thanks for any leads you can give us!

Fantastic shallow scrapes created by a farmer and @ManxAgriEnviro has resulted in waders including #Snipe feeding through the night over the winter months. Last night’s treats were quite late records for #Woodcock & #JackSnipe. Ringed under licence through the @_BTO & @iomdefa.
