Just had one of the best weeks of my life with @bu_bsoc at @bardseyobs. We had so many great experiences and saw some good birds including Alpine Swift, Dotterel, Jack Snipe, Ring Ouzel, Cuckoo and Pied flycatcher as well as hundreds of manxies and migrating passerines......

Day 2 recap:

To kick off the morning, we refound and had some amazing views of the two dotterel: such tame birds! 🐦

Big falls of goldfinch and blackcap followed by an informative ringing demonstration capped off an incredible second day!

We've just passed the halfway point of our training week on BARDSEY ISLAND, kindly funded by @_BTO, @cameron_b_trust, @BangorBirdGroup.

What an absolute privilege for our members to work, bird and ring with the amazing staff @bardseyobs.

New paper from my PhD! We quantified the impacts of a potential wildlife conflict between GBB Gulls and Puffins on the Isle of May - a tricky one as both species in global decline. We discuss its implications for species management and impact assessments. https://t.co/DOfbPbAQa7

Completely unreal!! Just found a drake Baikal Teal at Y Foryd, Gwynedd. Was the last thing I was expecting when @SalixTom said we should drop in on the Estuary

[Ben Porter @bardseyben]

Excited to be launching a #crowdfunder to support the brilliant Pentwyn project by @rwtwales. The plan is to run 65km across Radnorshire with @Hawkes_Will in late March (rough route below)

Any support appreciated - follow the @Localgiving page below! 😁
