The last days we've seen a mass exodus of GPS-tagged Spoonbills from the Netherlands. A good opportunity to give you a sneak peak of the new https://t.co/wO5fuEKxe8 being developed by @Statuur at BirdEyes. This tool will help us tell lots of cool migration stories in the future!

Spoonbills often meet along the flyway. With more GPS-tagged birds, we're increasingly able to detect joint ventures!

Yday, WALDI (orange) and VALERIE (pink) met in flight near Brouwershaven 🇳🇱 and then flew 7h and 400km together till Lisieux 🇫🇷en route to Guérande! 💪🥹 1/5

In the latest newsletter of @WGLepelaar there's a blog by @GlobalFlyway on 're-discovering' tracheal elongation in Spoonbills.

Spoonbills are born with a soprano sax, and then grow it into an alt or tenor! A funky process we're keen to map in more detail.

For story about a #spoonbill called Sinagote (a Breton name), about her friends & relatives, including the history of demise (early in England) and recovery (late in England), read "Sinagote, the biography of a spoonbill", published by @lynxnaturebooks. https://t.co/cCtj2kJ9cN

DYK that 400 million tonnes of plastic waste is produced every year?

But less than 10% is recycled ♻️

This #PlasticFreeJuly, let’s take urgent action to #BeatPlasticPollution and create a healthier, more sustainable 🌎 for all.
