New paper in @STOTEN_journal!

We investigate the stopover ecology of #WhiteStorks & suggest that #landfills reshaped #migration for this species, particularly by increasing migratory distances and timings.

Look at our @OpenAccess paper:

(6/6)🧵According to the #EuropeanUnion #wastepolicy plan, landfill waste will need to be reduced to 10% of current levels by 2035.
Also, it is expected that waste production will become more abundant in northern Africa.

What will happen to storks' migratory paths by then?

@zasvaz ...and I saw its pretty caterpillar @isagronomia, last month!

Many thanks to the @Belvide_Ringers, who let me ring with them! I would like especially to thank Colin for what I learned on Jack snipes :) Check his segment on Jack snipes on Winterwatch: https://t.co/5Xrh9nr6OW

1/ New Paper🚨

We tracked the autumn migration of #WhiteStorks and found that the timing of migration shapes stork migratory performance, the weather conditions they face and their destination

🪶Northern populations of Rollers have a slower pace-of-life than southern populations!🪶

Since 2018 we've also been tracking #BlackStorks juveniles to unravel their migratory decisions. This year we deployed 8 more GPS and, unlike white storks, black storks are only now starting to explore the areas around their nests, before migrating south much later in the season!

[Birds On The Move @BirdsMove]

#WhiteStork migration just started and 3 out of 19 GPS-tracked juveniles won't reach their wintering areas. They've died in #powerlines close to landfill sites, highlithing these sites as collision hotspots, as we've found in our new paper:

📢 Help! 📢

Unfortunately one of our #WhiteStork juveniles died in Cadiz, close to Medina-Sidonia, likely from powerline collision. Do we have any White Stork friends in Spain that could help us recovering the GPS tag? If so, send us a message! @AmigosCegonas @Otis_inglorius

@TiagoALOMarques Vendo bem, ela diz que não *há* ditadura sanitária. :P

[Birds On The Move @BirdsMove]

It's official, Autumn migration has started and our first year juvenile #WhiteStorks are on the move! Wish them good luck! @ueaenv @ueaceec @CIBIO_InBIO @Gauldblimeyjet @Otis_inglorius

@JovemDaGrelha Aqui vai, força nisso! https://t.co/D9ml8owqfY

[Joana Marcelino @jmarcelinopt]

We also estimate that white storks react to power lines at 80m by adjusting their flight altitudes upward!

Also, check our @BirdsMove project!

[Joana Marcelino @jmarcelinopt]

Our new paper is now out!
We investigate the factors that lead #WhiteStorks to fly at collision risk altitudes and suggest #landfill sites can act as #powerline collision hotspots.

This week @MartaAcacio from our team talked with
@Visao_pt
about #WhiteStorks, how they are adapting to anthropogenic land use and climate change, and many other things! It’s in video and podcast format! (in portuguese) https://t.co/pEsi5Eixry
