2 blurry images of a sulphur beetle & a this year great tit juvenile - both at the BTO 90th Anniversary event, Thetford. Excellent talks, walks & ringing demo .. & tasty celebratory cake. Great to meet up with BTO staff and with friends not seen for far too long.

Excellent graphic

But what does this loss look like? My attempt to visualise it: each bird represents 1 million pairs - many more (57) fade out than are replaced (21). Thanks to all @_BTO #volunteers whose observations provide evidence for action👉https://t.co/zza1JqQXlw #ornithology #conservation

As part of @_BTO's new strategy I'm keen to make our data work harder to give insight and inspire action. I've recenty worked on Birds on your Doorstep, a resource based on #BirdAtlas and @Birdtrack data to discover your local birds and how they're faring: https://t.co/9WLDlbgUc9

#Twitter provides a wonderful platform for the #ornithology community.
I haven't given up on it yet.
What did we learn about #waders #shorebirds in the first half of 2022?
Some of the stories are covered here:

#WaderTales blogs have been read in 148 countries in 2022 - mostly thanks to #Twitter.
I haven't given up on it yet.
Still sharing issues, such as the threat posed to breeding #waders #shorebirds by forestry:

The plight of Ringed Plovers was mentioned in last night's #Autumnwatch piece about the @WildKenHill fire.
Here's why there is so much concern about coastal Ringed Plovers:

Over 100 Fieldfares in Modbury today. The odd Redwing
with them. Very distant but great to see. 25/10/2022

They could be coming soon to a berry bush near you . As food supplies are at a low in Scandinavia , large flocks are gathering along the coast ready to head west. Eye,s open they are coming. #waxwing

I wish I could look at these amazing images and think
"Wow!"
Instead, I think
"What will happen when #birdflu strikes?"
Hundreds of thousands of #waders #shorebirds from Canada to Siberia roost in tight-packed flocks, as discussed here:

Reminder. #Curlew hunting in France?
Consultation re extension of temporary ban closes tomorrow (22 July). Looking hopeful that there will be no (legal) shooting of Curlew (or Black-tailed Godwit) this autumn/winter, in France.

A nice insight to the new ways our brilliant #BTOYouth are finding to share the joy of birds and help other young people learn and value them more
