🚨 PhD offer (please share)
Fascinated by bird migration and movement ecology? 🦜🌍 Join us at @vogelwarte.bsky.social to study annual cycle energetics with multi-sensor loggers in multiple species

Deadline: 20 Feb 2026
Starting: June 2026
Supervision: Martins Briedis & me

Info: tinyurl.com/2dbv9nzh

Happy to share our new paper published in @cp-iscience.bsky.social We deployed 300+ multi-sensor loggers across 17 species to investigate how different species adapt their flight strategies when crossing deserts and marine areas during migration. tinyurl.com/2c8y8xvf #ornithology #birds

Our last paper describes the spring-accelerated loop-migration of the Woodchat Shrike, tracked with light- and multi-sensor geolocators link.springer.com/article/10.1... #ornithology

🚨 2nd master’s project!
Interested in bird migration & genomics? 🧬🐦
Use whole-genome data to trace the recent colonization of Ouessant Island by Blue Tits and explore how irruptive migratory events can shape colonization dynamics. Please share! #ornithology

Hi Alan, impressive night ! Could you explain how you end up with more individuals than calls for the Robin ?

Nice setup ! Could you provide a picture of the microphone ?

Great progress on the sib genoscape project with freshly collected reference samples of Little Buntings (and Red-flanked Bluetails) from the western part of their range. A very nice and successful fieldwork with @joewynnbirds.bsky.social ! #ornithology

Quantifying nocturnal bird migration using acoustics: opportunities and challenges In this study, we explore three migration intensity measures derived from acoustic recordings, that is, bird call and passage rates, and species diversity, for their usefulness in quantifying nocturn...

Can we use #acoustics to quantify nocturnal #birdmigration in Europe? We explored potential and outlined some challenges in our latest publication in @rsecjournal.bsky.social. Get it HERE: doi.org/10.1002/rse2...

+1 for Moorhen !

Ornithologists, check this out! 🦉📢 #EOU2025 #ornithology

Thanks a lot, I'll definitely have a look into that. Cheers !

That's really interesting, congratulations on your work! Do you upload your recordings somewhere? I'd be very interested to hear them :)

A call in the dark: Nocturnal flight calls and their potential to advance the study of avian migration Abstract. Migratory birds have experienced widespread declines in abundance and face numerous threats. The conservation of migratory species relies in part

For my first post here, I’m happy to share our new paper just published in @ibisjournal.bsky.social Thanks to a great team effort, we made a small step forward in the study of Siberian vagrants in Europe and clarified the status of two (pseudo) vagrants: the YBW & the Sib Chiffchaff. Some results 🧵
