I've been trying to get this old Knot with faded flag read all season- finally brought it to book in the last of the light this eve as it pottered about in the godwit roost behind the Co-op. Turns out it is my old mucker LUP ringed as a 3CY+ in 2009. So now in at least its 20th year. #ornithology

What looks like a dark morph Lapwing seen at #RSPBGreylake #Somerset this morning. It was very aggressive to any other Lapwing that came to close.

Miljødirektoratet ønsker å forby mange fremmede arter Miljødirektoratet ønsker å forby en rekke planter. Men slapp av – du skal få beholde dem du har i hagen.

Dette er lovende. Ingen grunn til å spre et problem, selv om det kan se vakkert ut. Men den virkelig store trusselen mot naturmangfoldet vårt er den store nedbyggingen av naturens vår, og andre arealendringer. www.nrk.no/norge/miljod...

Our latest paper on Golden Eagle research in Scotland, using DNA from moulted feathers to assess apparent survival in territorial adults. As ever, data collection from Scottish Raptor Study Group @scottishraptorsg.bsky.social was vital.

A new article in Ecology and Evolution on apparent survival rates for two populations of Golden Eagles in Scotland. Shed feathers were collected at nest sites for genotyping and sexing. Mark-recapture models used to estimate demographic rates.🪶https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ece3.72912

From modern tools for ecological monitoring to smart ways to make sense of messy real-world data - including occupancy & N-mixture models - this presentation showed how quantitative ecology can help tackle the biodiversity crisis. A stimulating talk by Brett Sandercock @bksandercock.bsky.social

Year list totals for 2025: 228 bird species on 443 checklists in 9 countries, including 203 species for Norway. Five new species included Stejneger’s Scoter, Scottish Crossbills, Gray-headed Woodpecker, Little Bunting and Red-throated Pipit. Looking forward to a fresh start on January 1! #eBird

eBird data for Dec-Feb from the last decade shows vultures wintering on the coasts but not in the Canadian prairies. ‘Buzzards’ might be used for Buteo hawks.

A Robin perches proudly on a snow-dusted wooden post, its bright orange-red breast glowing like a beacon of warmth against the frosty, pale winter backdrop. With its feathers fluffed against the cold and beak open in song, this little garden friend perfectly captures the timeless winter cheer of Robins on #NationalRobinDay.

Happy Winter Solstice - and Happy #NationalRobinDay!

Thomas Felberg raser mot NRK: – De har kuppet hele redaksjonen Rockveteranen mener at hans arbeidsgiver NRK bryter sitt eget samfunnsoppdrag med den nye kanalen P3 Musikk.

En skandale at P13 ble lagt ned. NRK må snarest sørge for at kanalen gjenoppstår. Og det fort som f.

Norway has proposed Snowy Owl be added to Convention on Migratory Species Appendix II, at #CMSCOP15 (Brazil, March 2026), as a species of unfavourable conservation status requiring international agreement for its conservation. @cms.int Scientific Council will evaluate the proposal this week in Bonn.

After taking (too) many pictures of scales we finally have our new study out: Identifying escaped farmed salmon from scales using deep learning: academic.oup.com/biomethods/a...
The model works well and covers the major Atlantic salmon rivers in Norway. Could be adpated to other fish and places!

Power source, data retrieval method, and attachment type affect success of dorsally mounted tracking tag deployments in 37 species of shorebirds Animal-borne trackers are commonly used to study bird movements, including in long-distance migrants such as shorebirds. Selecting a tracker and attachment method can be daunting, and methodological ...

When you deploy a tracking device, how long do you expect it to last? We all hope for the best, but that's often not reality. 😞 For more information, check out Emily Weiser's new paper with help from many (many) folks in the shorebird community. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

very interesting work on mosses in the arctic and their change in spore dispersal over time - also an important argument why we need long term monitoring programs #eDNA #consgen 🧪🌏🦤

Successful workshop on ‘Adaptive management for migratory waterbirds’ at the international meeting of the African-Eurasian Waterbird Agreement. New research results from the SPEAR project funded by @biodiversa.eu. Presentations from scientists at @ninanatureresearch.bsky.social @utu.fi @au.dk

Coming up in less than a week: 9th Edition of the AEWA Conservation Status REPORT (CSR9).

For the first time, AEWA’s flagship report goes beyond tracking population trends to examine what drives changes, identifying key threats to migratory waterbirds and actions needed to address them. Stay tuned!
