Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, recently returned to Midway Atoll!
The beloved Laysan albatross, or mōlī, is at least 71 years old. Biologists first identified and banded Wisdom in 1956 after she laid an egg, and the large seabirds aren’t known to breed before age 5.
Great to recently confirm that Turtle Doves have successfully fledged young at #FenDraytonLakes with at least two juveniles to be seen. Such smart birds even in this plumage @SaveTurtleDoves@RSPBbirders
Don’t think Ash Brazill is getting enough credit for her phenomenal performance yesterday. Covering 3/4/5 moves at times off the CP and shutting down England first phase. Maybe just easier to see in person than on tv coverage? @jazzy_jeff44

This is why it matters. Representation. My daughter doesn’t have to have an interest in football. She just has to know that it’s an option. That she can become anything she sets her little heart on. From a princess to a lioness. And everything in between. #Lionesses#WEURO2022
@Lufbrabirder @JenGill3@GrahamFAppleton Fantastic! I think that combination is one of this year's cohort of headstarted birds released at the Nene Washes a few weeks ago but @projectgodwit@donaldsonlynda1 will be able to confirm 🙂
Big day yesterday two crane chicks @RSPBLakenheath fledged! This is trail camera footage from last week but on Thursday we saw them flying for the first time. That is 20 chicks fledged on the reserve in 16 years of breeding after 400 years of absence from the Fens. Result!
Felt very special to be back @WWTWelney today where it all began in 2017 with @projectgodwit .
Huge team effort by talented and dedicated conservationists at @RSPBEngland and @WWTconservation making a difference for these special birds.
