As #IWSGconf starts to wrap up it's time to practice your best Funky American Woodcock dance ahead of what we hope will be a face to face event on island of Sylt, Germany 8-11 October 2021 #shorebirds #waders #ornithology

@antjesteinfurth @Ju_A_Vianna Well done! More grass to your armpit!

@sarahsgonewild Heeheheeeee I will be using that one

It’s that time of the year! August, I love you from my head, tomatoes (I love puns and no one will stop me)

@sarahsgonewild Hmmm...I like rants about wildlife trade

Heyy Twitter, here’s a shameless self plug: I’m 11 followers away from 1k, help a girl out! Newcomers can expect rants about wildlife trade, feminism, and conservation. I study perceptions and uses of wildlife in Sierra Leone and their impact on the disbelief of the Ebola Virus

@ClaudiaTapiah Wow!!!

@morakinyo1tunde We surveyed approx.10ha of Gmelina plantation last year in Kaduna State and recorded exactly 7species of birds! These plantations are biodiversity deserts and, because they prevent the growth of other plants, actually increase erosion and hasten desertification

While it is good to plant trees, why are you planting Gmelina which is not indigenous to Africa? It is far better to plant indigenous tree species. Gmelina has no benefit to wildlife/biodiversity & the fruits are poisonous for many animals. PLEASE can we promote indigenous trees?

@nzkatj Brilliant achievement. Congratulations

I got some great news last week. I've been asked to be the Academic Chair of the School of Biological Sciences Education Committee, a big step up in responsibility managing our school curriculum. Heading into campus now, standing up a bit taller, ready for new challenges!
