The Whoopers are starting to move and will soon be back on their Icelandic breeding grounds! Since @WaterbirdCM started ringing Whoopers in 2023, we've tagged >600 inds. and gathered >750 sightings. Please keep an eye out and continue to report any sightings to us as they leave!

In Feb 23 we undertook a census of the UK naturalised Barnacle Goose population. The aim to produce an updated population estimate & report on winter distribution. Results have now been published in @BritishBirds, with our thinking on future monitoring needs #Ornithology 1/7 ⬇️

A ringing recovery wasn't something I was expecting from a cruise along the South Shetlands but here we are. Anyone know who in the world has been ringing South Polar Skuas?

We think this is because dispersal into new breeding areas is always passed to the next generation when born there – you only need to return to a known location. Conversely, a new non-breeding site isn’t automatically passed to the next generation. 9/10

New paper published today in Movement Ecology! We show N. American birds that migrate in flocks have greater long-term non-breeding range shifts, particularly if flocks are mixed-age. We link this to social learning in novel mig. route development. rdcu.be/d57Mw 1/10

New paper! If you use time-lapse cameras, this one's for you! Proud of this collaboration with @UEA_CMP's Marcus Jenkins & Michal Mackiewicz to improve object detection for time-lapse imagery using temporal features. 📷🖥️⏲️ Open Access @Sensors_MDPI: mdpi.com/3088004
