Another NYE, another night of terror for millions of birds across the Netherlands. Last year we published (esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/fe…) about the massive impact of fireworks on birds. Thread with a damning animation of radar measurements during NYE countdown, below. 👇

The year is almost over, and NYE fireworks are just around the corner. So it's time to talk birds and fireworks! Thread 🧵👇 We have now published new work in @ESAFrontiers looking at the effects of fireworks on birds, using weather radar and bird counts: doi.org/10.1002/fee.26…

Intense #nocmig picked up on radar from the Southern Norwegian coast at Lista Bird Observatory last night. A Westerly movement out into the North Sea with birds taking advantage of the slack winds under a flabby low pressure system. Yellow are small birds & Orange medium sized.

📣The suspend hunting from 2021 has allowed a population recovery in Turtle Dove! A paper published in Conservation Letters today shows the population response in terms of breeding numbers after the first two seasons of the moratorium. Read more: pecbms.info/science-based-…

A first for an Irish Robin! A great record of a Robin ringed in Calais in France in mid Sept and found in West Cork two weeks later. This is the first record of a Robin moving between France and Ireland! Thanks to Shona in Cork for contacting us when she found the ring!

Congratulations Nihon Hidankyo for this incredibly well deserved #NobelPeacePrize. The hibakusha, the inspirational survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, have worked tirelessly to raise awareness of the catastrophic impacts of nuclear weapons and push for their total elimination.
The Nobel Prize@NobelPrize

BREAKING NEWS The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPeacePrize to the Japanese organisation Nihon Hidankyo. This grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, also known as Hibakusha, is receiving the peace prize for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and for demonstrating through witness testimony that nuclear weapons must never be used again. #NobelPrize

Patricia Homonylo, from Canada, was declared the 2024 Bird Photographer of the Year for her thought-provoking image ‘When Worlds Collide’. The photograph shows birds killed by colliding with windows and other reflective surfaces in urban areas.

I have just arrived at @FundacionMigres in Tarifa, S Spain, for 6 weeks of @Vogelwarte_scie #insectmigration fieldwork as part of @Birgen_Haest's Move in Europe project! We have radars to monitor insects (!!) each side of the Straits of Gibraltar (1 in Ceuta, 1 in Tarifa) as well as insect traps in Tarifa, Gibraltar, and Ceuta to find out the types of insects migrating. Here is the radar in Ceuta looking towards one of the Pillars of Hercules, the Rock of Gibraltar. I'll be sharing loads here of the adventures I'm having. So excited!!

Problem is that after a few years, most people normalize extreme climate as normal They also normalize disappearance of world Bees insects birds wildlife, marine life, forests wetlands and their replacement with a sterile barren lifeless landscape as normal

Les scientifiques suisses alertent sur la situation de la biodiversité en Suisse: elle est véritablement malmenée et nécessite plus d'actions et de moyens, contrairement à ce que prétend M. Albert Rösti, conseiller fédéral. #Biodiversité. blick.ch/fr/news/suisse…

A new study confirms how the joint application of acoustic and vertical-looking radar data can be used to quantify family-level bird migration, with the case study of the thrush family. Read more on doi.org/10.1002/rse2.3… @baptischmi @Birgen_Haest
