🎉🎉LIFE ON THE MOVE 📽️📽️🪶🌝 The LIFE FALKON documentary is online! Enjoy 15 mins of beauty at this link: lifefalkon.eu/en/life-on-the… Teaser here👇

This is NOT a lesser kestrel. But we are studying it... anybody guess the species?? Deployed in July 2024.🐦😅👀

Sampling season 2024 of #lesserkestrel in #Matera (spot the nestboxes on the roof). Many birds and many eggs: breeding season seems quite advanced this year!

@AldinaFranco @InesCatry @LPNatureza @ueaceec @ueaenv Cheers from #Matera! Lesser Kestrel monitoring ongoing here too!

Lesser kestrel monitoring with @InesCatry throughout the Castro Verde SPA, at the @LPNatureza conservation towers and walls. Lesser kestrels have been outcompeted by other cavity nesting species in many sites @ueaceec @ueaenv

The study, led by @giacomoassandri , is the result of a great collaboration among EU reasearchers working on the lesser kestrel

@JGCecere Proud to state that #lifefalkon project made this paper to possible, paying salary to researchers and funding several networking activities/meeting. This is a great aspect of @LIFEprogramme which is frequently understated.

Using locations of >1800 colonies and tracks from 354 individuals, we assessed wind turbine exposure for Lesser Kestrels in EU and Africa. 26% of the EU pop has at least 1 turbine around colony. Sadly, Natura2000 fails to mitigate potential impact sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Fieldwork 2024 kick-off day! Despite Falkon is formally over, the after-life period will last 5 more years...stay tuned!

The moon? nooo, a moon-like (unfertile) egg of #lesserkestrel. Fascinating as only nature can be.

How the foraging range of a colonial #raptor is shaped by colony size and other factors? LIFE FALKON at the International Biologging Society Conference in #Tokio @bls8tokio2024 #AfterLife @LIFEprogramme

Our team just landed in #Tokyo, to attend the 8th International #biologging science symposium bls8tokyo.net

@ale_berlu at the final discussion of his #PhD about #lesserkestrel and other falcons. A lot of questions by the foreign experts: @busta43 and Luc Lens. Welcome in the post-doc life for Ale!

Finally, our latest work about the #kleptoparasitism between the #Red_footed_falcon and the #Lesser_Kestrel has been published in the journal #Behavioral_Ecology_and_Sociobiology in the context of @lifefalkon project Link: link.springer.com/article/10.100… @miche_morganti @DavideScridel

✨️🇮🇹🇬🇷With 2023, also @lifefalkon formally ends, after 66 months. Our team wants to acknowledge all those who contributed to the project and its success 🙌. But don't worry! 5 more years of After-LIFE actions in favour of 🦅 are planned: lifefalkon.eu/en/deliverable… Happy 2024‼️

Il Consiglio Direttivo del @CISO_COI e la Redazione di Avocetta vi augurano buone feste e un eccellente anno di osservazioni ornitologiche 🐦🦆🐤🦅🦉 The boards of @CISO_COI and Avocetta wish you happy holidays and an excellent year of ornithological observations!!! 🐦🦆🦅

New position on biodiversity! 🪶🦉🦅 we are looking for a motivated Junior Researcher to work on: -ecoacoustic in Alpine landscapes; -automatic/field survey of birds and biodiversity; -bird songs classification and automatic identifications. For details: eurac.onboard.org/jobs/d4l9Q2GM?…

Thanks to @friday4birds for inviting to contribute in this super interesting format! Delighted to talk about #herons and #lesserkestrels with several African colleagues too! Here the link to the recording : youtu.be/dVskEFExF4Y?si…

Just over 12h before the start of our virtual #BOUsci23 Global Flyways Conference! We'll kick of at 9:00 UTC with a varied program for the Africa-Eurasia session. Use the hashtag to follow live updates on this platform. Full program: bou.org.uk/event/bousci23…

🔍 Cosas que han pasado en ’23: hicimos el seguimiento de la colonia de #cernícaloprimilla en Almendralejo. Cada año se recopilan datos cruciales para entender su evolución y ayudar a la protección de la especie 📊 @Agricultura_Ex y 🇪🇺 🔗dema.org.es/?p=4641
