Awesome symposium at #EOU2023
"Tools to monitor bird contamination and exposure effects". It was lovely to present our ongoing work on pollutants in the Alpine swift!

Ecstatic to be in Lund for #EOU2023 presenting our results on pollutant exposure in the Alpine swift! Shout out to @IBIS_journal for funding me to be here.

After dreaming about it for a long time, I have made two embroidered sweater designs! As everything I make, they are birdy - sanderlings and storm petrels 🦤 They are currently available for pre-order if anyone would like one :)

Action packed two days at the ASM @QUADRATdtp presenting and attending workshops. Big welcome to the new cohort! 🥳

Are you an ecologist interested in large-scale movements of 🐦birds and 🪰insects?

I have written a blog post introducing the amazing burying beetles I am going to be working on for my PhD project with the @persmiseth lab as part of the @e3dtp – check it out!

Great guesses everyone! The answer is 10 months - well done @fenella_wood and @persmiseth - nailed it! #QUADRATquiz2020

Great second session today for @QUADRATdtp presentations! My question for the #QuadratQuiz2020 is - The common swift holds the record for the longest time in uninterrupted flight (I think!). How many months can it stay aloft?

@A_Everard @QUADRATdtp They eat "on the wing" which is a new fun phrase for me to say

@AurielESumner you look asleep but I can second that you weren't 😅 I am also being attacked!

[Francesca Gray @Chess_95]

@Rosie_Baillie_ @lonelyplanet It was such a good presentation - I was too fascinated by your drawings, I didn't see any eggs! I am going to say Madagascar?
