We need your help - four of our satellite-tracked quail have gone missing in France! Any information would be interesting, e.g. if the signal comes from near a fox den, buzzard nest or hunting area 🦊🦅🔫 If you can recover the tag, we can re-use it - and you can name this quail 😉 Pls share widely 🇫🇷

New Paper Alert! 📢🧪 The remarkable population increase in Finnish white-tailed #eagles 🦅 was driven by high adult survival, although there are spatial differences. Interested to find out more? The paper is open access! shorturl.at/EEQE2 #raptor #conservation @oikosjournal.bsky.social @utu.fi

First skylarks of the season tagged with SigFox transmitters from @animaltracking.bsky.social + fecal samples collected for #pesticide screening in cooperation with @jki-research.bsky.social This year we are working on Helgoland - many thanks to @ifv-whv.bsky.social for hosting us!

First days at the ringing camp in Pape, Latvia 🇱🇻 Main goal is to try these new Blumorpho (Bluetooth) devices, here on a Yellow-browed Warbler. Hopefully, we could get nice trajectories of this species in Europe coupled with the genomic origin of each bird.🤞

Great project 💪 with @joewynnbirds.bsky.social @pauldufour80.bsky.social @genmig.bsky.social & many others! We study yellow-browed warblers in Europe: where from, where to, what happens in winter & spring – could a new migration route evolve? 2 birds sampled on Helgoland so far. #birdmigration

Amazing recovery of one of our Richard's Pipits ringed on its Mongolian breeding grounds in June 2023, found dead 3 years later by @stenura.bsky.social a few hundred m from its ringing site. Crazy find given the density of pipits there! Sadly its geolocator (missed in 2024) is gone..

In 2011, one chick held the record for most plastic ever found in the species: 276 pieces, 64g. We thought that was as bad as it could get. We were wrong. The record fell in 2023. Fell again in 2024. Then in 2025: 894 pieces in a single chick. (Photo: worst chicks in 2010, 2015, 2021, 2025)

In the early 1980’s, we began preparing separate spread wings to help illustrate features of birds that had never been accurately drawn. Today our collection of spread wings is the largest in the world, preserving more than 40,000 specimens.
