The Whoopers are starting to move and will soon be back on their Icelandic breeding grounds! Since @WaterbirdCM started ringing Whoopers in 2023, we've tagged >600 inds. and gathered >750 sightings. Please keep an eye out and continue to report any sightings to us as they leave!
In Feb 23 we undertook a census of the UK naturalised Barnacle Goose population. The aim to produce an updated population estimate & report on winter distribution. Results have now been published in @BritishBirds, with our thinking on future monitoring needs #Ornithology 1/7 ⬇️
A special thanks to my co-authors and funders. This work was completed as part of my PhD thesis at @biouea/@ueaenv/@uniofeastanglia partnered with @audubonsociety

New paper published today in Movement Ecology! We show N. American birds that migrate in flocks have greater long-term non-breeding range shifts, particularly if flocks are mixed-age.
We link this to social learning in novel mig. route development.

We think this is because dispersal into new breeding areas is always passed to the next generation when born there – you only need to return to a known location. Conversely, a new non-breeding site isn’t automatically passed to the next generation.

Proud of this collaboration with @UEA_CMP's Marcus Jenkins & Michal Mackiewicz to improve object detection for time-lapse imagery using temporal features. 📷🖥️⏲️

Water Pipits continue to show well at Fen Hide @RSPB_Strumpshaw. This ringed bird was ringed by UEA Ringing Group in 2020 at Cantley BF as an adult. This will be a new UK longevity record 🥇. Thanks to @peaceofcakes for the ringing info via the Ringing Group
