We're nearing a whopping 75% of world bird species photographed from the collections @NHM_Tring & @NHM_London 👏🤩

With your help these images will further our understanding of amazing bird colour over at https://t.co/GVaTrWtCEz @the_zooniverse now! #BSW18 #citizenscience

@tomjwebb Is it cheating to tune E to F#, B to C# and use a capo on the third fret? It's definitely less painful.

New research from @EEB_Sheffield @ChrisCooney101 @alielw 🎉🎉

[Ecology and Evolutionary Biology @EEB_Sheffield]

Wonderful talk today by @FBabarovic at the fantastic @LivingLightConf focusing on the dynamics of bird plumage colour evolution! #birds #colour #evolution

[Ecology and Evolutionary Biology @EEB_Sheffield]

#meetEEBSheffield @EHughes27 is an @ACCE_DTP #ornithology PhD student supervised by Gavin Thomas and David Edwards. Her research aims to investigate current and future patterns of avian morphological and phylogenetic diversity. Check out her recent paper: https://t.co/yO6YkuVvkl

Many bird species have independently evolved iridescent feathers. Help scientists understand why this might be by taking a few minutes to analyse photos on Project Plumage https://t.co/Z5WKfVn1zK
