Do you want to know how old the #petrel you just caught is but it isn't wearing a band/ring? Now you can find out with just a blood sample. This new paper develops a method using DNA methylation that gives a surprisingly accurate age estimate. #seabird

Significant news today – the IOC has announced that it will recognise the split of Red Grouse and Willow Ptarmigan, with the former now set to become a British and Irish endemic species: https://t.co/cGy8ueyy4h

@dave17allan @birdinglothian Blue AM was ringed as a chick in north Cumbria in 2023; it was in Lincolnshire in April and Teeside in May.

@woodlandbirder I feel the same way about 'improved grassland'. It's a term which means grass with little or no diversity and is often an ecological trap when used for silage. Ecologists should stop using it and use 'grass crop' or something else.

[Fylde Bird Club @FyldeBirdClub]

This Common Tern at Conder Pool was ringed in April 2005 in Senegal and recorded as older than 2nd year at the time, so its now over 21 years old! Remarkably we also recorded this same bird breeding at Preston Dock in 2017 & 2019, photo by @paul_ellis24 @WordsFromWez

Does conservation work? Our paper by @rewild shows that it does: a global analysis of 665 trials (incl. several by @RSPBScience) found that conservation improved the state of biodiversity or slowed declines in two-thirds of cases @BirdLife_Sci https://t.co/DskyzkYffQ
