First exploration of the Caucasian mountains looking for snowfinches. We definitely found a new interesting area where to start to study alpine birds. Project funded by @_OSME. Gaumarjos!

Snowfinch pair we ringed in 2019. We keep monitoring this declining population located at the western part of its distributional range: worrying numbers of breeding pairs @SnowfinchGroup @_IMIB_ @RafaBenjumea20

Timely start of #snowfich breeding season this year in out study sites in Switzerland🐣
And of course lots of good views on the way to the sites ☀️

Day 3 of the #ebcc2022 is going to start soon, again full of interesting talks and posters. I also show some of my results, come by if you want!

Some figures after the first 2 days of #sowfinch ringing in the Swiss Alps: 45 birds captured, 3 dataloggers attached and a lot of fresh snow!

[European Snowfinch Group @SnowfinchGroup]

Time to gathering people from Switzerland, Austria and Montenegro and ringing #snowfinches in the Swiss Alps! Some 85 individual spotted on our arrival, 20 of them with a ring already, let's see how the week goes!

New paper out on @IBIS_journal! In this work, we reviewed the literature for 34 European #mountain and #upland #bird species to quantify which drivers have been most consistently associated with positive or negative demographic responses https://t.co/56OUQ3jE5r

Cool information from ringing projects: this 1.5 years old #snowfinch was ringed last year in the Eastern Austrian Alps and was portraied two weeks ago in the French Alps, some 500 km eastward from its birth place. Will it stop here or where else?
