The first #logger retrieved for #Cornwall this morning as part of @bvdbirds winter blackcap project!! I wonder where it has been? @_BTO @UoExeterCEC @egioxford

Absolutely bonkers to have an ITALIAN Pied Flycatcher breeding in one of the boxes at Brook Wood! Only 2 records of 🇮🇹 pieds seen in 🇬🇧 ever. She's happily sitting on a clutch of 7 eggs, monitored for @_BTO #NRS.

@Ryanair 3 hours now on your delayed flight from Bristol to Madrid FR155. Sat on it going nowhere for 1.5h, screaming children and hot. And flight crew are denying us any food or water. Any response???

This Cuckoo nestling, ringed in a Meadow Pipit nest last summer by Ellie Ness of our #BTO nest recording group in the New Forest was recaptured just 33 days later on the German island of Helgoland. Only the 5th British ringed Cuckoo to be found in Germany.

@B_Strawbridge Have used this box successfully around dartmoor. Works well as can withstand floods and trees hitting it in winter. Face it so the hole is pointing downstream. Needs a bit of force to slot together but relatively quick to assemble.

Just over 40 people came to our @MoorMeadows training day today at Holne, Dartmoor. After an indoor session, we put the theory into practice, finding 13 nests at Brook Manor-a great result and the most nests yet this season! Thank you everyone who came/helped organise everything!

Fantastic to see another potentially wintering Devon #curlew! 1of our #DCWRG tagged #curlew is also a #SAVcurlew breeder. Collaboration between wintering and breeding projects joins up our understanding of the threats birds face across their annual cycle @DevonBirds #ornithology

PBO @PortlandBirdObs are pleased to welcome Jodie Mae Henderson as our Assistant Warden this year.

[Robbie Phillips @robbieoutside]

@CalfObs @_BTO @manxnature @BiosphereIOM @manxheritage @birdobs_council That’s interesting. Yes a few more around south coast but still not many. Thank you for the info. The IOW ringing group will be interested to hear about it.

[Kate Fox @birdingfox]

Great fun helping with the @EcoSoc_Penryn ringing demo this morning 🐦💚 Always a joy to talk people about the @_BTO ringing scheme and the wealth of data it provides, plus share the excitement of seeing our amazing birds so close! @BTO_Cornwall #CitizenScience #BTOYouth

[Waders For Real @WadersForReal]

What a fantastic afternoon, 60 snipe, 70 wigeon, 40 teal, 2 shoveler and 9 farmers and keepers from the Lower Avon Farmer Cluster. Talking #farming and #conservation along the way!

[Stephen Vickers @Stephen8Vickers]

Major overhaul of the #birdringing within-group movements app (https://t.co/j4BODJJeio), which uses your @BTO DemON data & searches for movements between your own sites, otherwise easily missed. The app now gives you more information, and has more options to explore your data.

[Devon Harvest Mouse @HarvestMiceDVN]

We’ve got a survey coming up on Sunday 5th December near Buckfastleigh, details below. If you fancy coming, please let us know: last time we found over 25 nests on just one field, so fingers crossed for lots this year too! #HMNestFest

[Robbie Phillips @robbieoutside]

@CharmouthObs Yes looks good, good luck. Maybe one day we will exchange one.

[Robbie Phillips @robbieoutside]

@CharmouthObs Ow yes a lot of tits too! But crests have been steady but not big numbers here at all this year.

[Robbie Phillips @robbieoutside]

@CharmouthObs Had a goldcrest go to Falmouth, and a chiff come from other side of moor. Otherwise just a lot of <5km tit movements. A lot of mipits here this year 400+ ringed , 300 chiff 100+blackcap which is a lot more than last year and quite a few redpoll too. Miss august mostly though.
