Our paper on breeding site fidelity in Red Phalaropes now available in early view @behavecol.bsky.social! academic.oup.com/beheco/advan... We colour banded 169 males and 184 females of this polyandrous shorebird on their Arctic breeding grounds, and monitored their return in the next year 1/4

🐦 A new paper out! GPS tracking of 85 Common Redshanks revealed how breeding phenology and habitat use vary across the species' breeding range, highlighting the value of protected grasslands, AES and tailored conservation. 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ge... #ornithology #waders #shorebirds #HABITRACK

New paper: How flexible are migratory stopovers? A 30-year study of western sandpipers shows little change in stopover duration across four key Pacific Flyway sites, suggesting limited scope to adjust refuelling time in response to environmental change ➡️ vist.ly/5bvqt #Ornithology

NINA søker en forskningssjef for forskningsgruppa «Fugl og fornybar» i Trondheim, Norge. En hyggelig gruppe som jobber med vadefugler, sjøfugl og miljøeffekter av fornybar energi. Søknadsfrist: 10.09.2026 @ninanatureresearch.bsky.social nina.attract.reachmee.com/jobs/89-nina...

As Global Flyway Network we contributed to an Australia-wide assessment of non-breeding site fidelity of 12 shorebirds. Using 636,167 records of 84k individuals overall site fidelity was >95% but lower in Red Knot & Sanderling. Juveniles were less site faithful than adults. doi.org/10.1111/cobi...

1/Excited to share two new papers! The first is by Rozy Bathrick in @amornith.bsky.social on intra-specific variation in stopover site use. Rozy shows that Lesser Yellowlegs from different breeding sites use the Prairie Pothole Region in dramatically different ways. academic.oup.com/condor/artic...

Our comparative analyses with @bksandercock.bsky.social and colleagues is now included in July issue of Oikos, and is making the cover, with a stunning picture of one of my great friend Verca. Read the paper here: nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Separately, whilst on St Kilda last month working on these endemic Wrens, a Redpoll which flew into our nets already had an ID ring. Turns out it was ringed in September 2025 as a first-year bird, on Sula in Norway. That's 1135km away from St Kilda! @jezierskimt.bsky.social @stkildawhs.bsky.social

Our new study, led by Sergi Herrando (EBCC chair, @ICOcells) published in Conservation Biology, shows that it is possible to create frequent and regular maps showing where farmland birds are disappearing across Europe by using the data from the Pan-European Common Bird Monitoring Scheme (PECBMS).
