Listen to Dr Alex Thornton talk to @BBCCornwall about his study on jackdaws in #Cornwall @UniofExeter @CornishJackdaws @UniExeCEC starts 1:38:25 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

Excellent talk from @rjpheathcote today in today's @OxZooDept Behaviour & Ecology Seminar Series! Amazing fine-scale approach to experimentally determining the causes & consequences of dynamic eye colour in guppies. A great blend of natural history + experiments + technology! 🐟

Delighted to have my first paper out and about in the world, and in my society journal @asab_tweets to boot. It was so special to be able to work on such fabulous creatures with even bette people @Dwarf_Mongoose @Julie_M_Kern @AmyMorrisDrake 🥳🥳🥳

How can predators overcome prey camouflage strategies? New review in @RSocPublishing with @JimAMclGalloway @saunteringsam @SensoryEcology bit.ly/2Zexp09 #colsci

Ever find yourself pondering how predators might overcome the cunning camouflage strategies animals use to avoid becoming lunch? 🍰👀 Then why not read our new review paper out today -> doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2… #colsci #sensoryecology #camouflage #phdlife #science @RSocPublishing

Our @CornishJackdaws are going to have their work cut out for them as their chicks will be hatching any time soon! Whilst we can't go and check on them, we can at least look back at the cuteness of last years chicks. @BTO_Cornwall @CBWPS1 @BBCSpringwatch

Massive thanks to @IBIS_journal for funding our research! Also huge kudos for reaching out in such uncertain times to make sure we were safe and well! It may be next year, but I’m really excited about this project!

Are herring gulls in urban areas merely drawn to the sight of discarded food or do they use human behaviour to make decisions about where to forage or what to eat? Our new study suggests that handling food draws their attention towards it royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Huge thanks to @IBIS_journal for funding my small project grant! Time to monitor our @CornishJackdaws like never before 🥳🧐
