Seabirds, seabirds, #seabirds 🥰 having an amazing field season on @skomer_island - chick monitoring, GPS tracking, and plenty of fun!

It's always exciting to find out where birds are moving, especially when it's not just within your local area!

A Greenfinch we ringed in December 2023 was recaught in Old Weston, Cambridgeshire on 20th May 2024, having travelled 91km! 💚 ✈️

The #NorthernLights seen off the Copeland Islands in Belfast Bay ✨ Manx shearwater research has never looked so incredible 🐦 @CopelandBirdObs

@lucaborger @SwanseaUni Congrats Luca!! That’s amazing 🎉

[Ollie Padget @OlliePadget]

Just back from a brilliant 8 days on @SkokholmIsland deploying @ornitela GPS-GSM devices on Manx shearwaters with @LFisherReeves. The remote-download capacity of the devices has been really exciting to explore. People, birds and sky-watching made for an awesome week

Incredible site fidelity in a wintering chiffchaff in Oxford. NBX344 ("Cliff") has returned to the same patch of riverside scrub for the last three winters. First ringed as an age 4 in February 2021 #cliffthechiff

I’ve been wanting to ring a bullfinch ever since I started ringing, they’re such an impressive bird 🤩 I think this is a sign that 2023 will be a great year 🤞🏻

Big congrats to my pal, @morfjoe, (who is now an official scientist) on his first paper as lead author! 👾🐦🧠

Watching him build this network was some serious wizardry, go check it out! 🧙🏼📈

Paper out today in Animal Behaviour (my first as first author!!!): Neural networks reveal emergent properties of collective learning in democratic but not despotic groups. https://t.co/J8k4dMOpn1

A very nice start to my week at PBO @PortlandBirdObs .Wryneck ringed by Central Oxford Ringing Group @OxfordRinging on their visit this week after being trapped by Martin Cade in the Crown Estate Field. Nice to see them again, keeping the hours of trapping in the garden going.

@AnneAusems @TheLabAndField @bardseyben @laurenevans217 @HannahHereward @sjurdur Best method of chick weighing I’ve ever seen 😭🧁

[Lewis Lancaster-Reeves @LFisherReeves]

@KatBoothJones @TheSeabirdGroup @animal__alice @Patrick_Lewin_ @katrinarosheen @joewynn_birds @morfjoe @PenguiNacho @CopelandBirdOb Thank you Kat! Let’s hope so, the stormies are waiting! 🙌🏻

[Lewis Lancaster-Reeves @LFisherReeves]

And that concludes my first ever scientific conference!
Huge thank you to @TheSeabirdGroup for making #CorkSeabirds so special, and to all the people who came to chat about my work after my talk!
Can’t wait to catch you all at the next one 🐦🐧

[Lewis Lancaster-Reeves @LFisherReeves]

@emilyhague @animal__alice @TheSeabirdGroup @Patrick_Lewin_ @katrinarosheen @joewynn_birds @morfjoe @PenguiNacho Thank you so much! 🥳🥰

[Joe Morford @morfjoe]

Great last day of #CorkSeabirds conference! Brilliant talks from @Patrick_Lewin_ and @LFisherReeves on Balearic shearwaters from the Oxnav group, and @katrinarosheen was highly commended for her poster on Manxies!!

#CorkSeabirds: Movement & Behaviour

Lewis Fisher-Reeves @LFisherReeves: "The use of visual landmarks during homing in a critically endangered shearwater"

Balearic shearwaters navigate to their colony sites more efficiently when landmarks become visible.
