For more than a decade, World Shorebirds Day existed across surveys, local events, social media posts, photographs, and conversations scattered around the world. Now, it has a new home.

The new World Shorebirds Day portal is live.

We now understand the drivers of curlew’s decline with precision. Yet across continents, recovery remains slow — or absent.

On World Curlew Day, we take a closer look at them.

Not everything resolves with time.
Some things simply continue.

A reflection on fifty years spent outside — in nature, in observation, and in motion.

A 40-year study of the Hermit Thrush reveals how climate change reshapes birds in unexpected ways — through both evolution and phenotypic plasticity.

A Shoebill that never existed — yet looked entirely real.
Artificial intelligence is already reshaping ornithology, from acoustic monitoring to synthetic imagery. What happens when realism is no longer proof of presence?

I’ve launched Bird Observer on Substack.

A new space for field notes and reflections on birds, landscapes, and bird conservation.

The first post explores what happens when we stop chasing birds and start watching a place instead.

Today is #worldwildlifeday. In 1973, @UN @CITES adopted this day to celebrate & raise awareness for the world’s fauna and flora. We especially honor all the threatened & endangered species and the special humans working on their behalf (…)

New research shows that just 11.6% of The Gambia remains highly suitable for Hooded Vultures – and most of it lies within human landscapes.

American Oystercatchers are nesting on Florida rooftops as beaches disappear — an extraordinary but precarious response to coastal development.

What began as a personal adjustment changed the way I bird — and how fifteen minutes of stillness can reveal far more than constant movement.

Listening to forests can change how habitat quality is understood.
A Finnish study shows Crested Tits respond to fine-scale forest structure rather than forest age.
