Estimated 100 pairs of Curlew breed on Munich Airport. No problems!
In the UK, Curlew eggs are still being removed from air bases to reduce birdstrike risk.
Eggs used to be destroyed (under license) but many are now headstarted:

How strong is site fidelity in Black-tailed Godwits?
We know that adults return to the same sites each year but what do their chicks do, when it is their turn to breed?

One of the most fascinating things about the Greater Painted-snipe
is that it completely flips the usual gender roles from other female waders

Have you seen a Bunyip Bird? We’re excited to launch a new Environmental Activity supporting the Australasian Bittern.
Working with Murray Wildlife & local landholders, the CEWH will establish 34 hectares of dedicated refuge wetlands in the Riverina. https://t.co/un3APlHjL1

It’s no longer the secret life of birds when scientists get involved!
Since 2016, @CSIRO scientists funded by the CEWH have been satellite-tracking the movements of waterbirds.
This map shows bird travel is extensive and impressive.

The diversity of geography and biodiversity the Glenelg River flows through makes it one of the most interesting rivers in Australia. From limestone cliffs to lush forests, to an amazing river mouth estuary where it meets the sea. Which part of the Glenelg is your favourite?

[leanahosea @leanahosea]

Researchers from @ucl analysed + mapped data on which global regions are getting wetter, which drier as the climate changes. If you'd like to find out what's happening where you live, there's a link to this map in @RachSalv's article, out now:

Challenging night surveying farmland and marsh. Lots of birds present, but a complete lack of wind. Just three birds caught were 2 Snipe and a Golden Plover that gave a long run around @_BTO @BirdWatchIE @NPWSIreland
