Postdoc on a project studying soft songs in birds. 🐦 In love with passive acoustics!
Aleksandra, Marta and Weronika presented results of our research regarding microplastics, bird-glass collisions and birdsong amplitude at #EOU26 conference in Gdańsk! bsky.app/profile/eouf...
The discussions continued #EOU26 with session on human–wildlife interactions Patrycja Piotrowska on great tits across urban gradients, Marta Nartowicz on diet and anthropogenic particles, Aleksandra Syguła on UV films and bird collisions, and Leonardo Siddi on invasive plants and bird communities.
Field season 2026 has begun! 🐦 We’re launching experiments on how territorial birds react to songs of different amplitudes - from loud to soft songs. This @ncn.gov.pl‑funded project is carried out with @dmwiniarska.bsky.social and Biology students from the University of Białystok.
📣 CALL FOR PAPERS 📣 Special issue: FROM CHIRPS TO INSIGHTS: PASSIVE ACOUSTIC MONITORING FOR APPLIED ORNITHOLOGY More info: vist.ly/43vfp Guest editors: Jan O. Engler, Jenn Foote, @silvereyedom.bsky.social Simon Thorn #ornithology #birds 🪶🧪
[Please RT] Our collaborative project #BDBORS exploring the link between nesting phenology and substrate property, is still ongoing, with collected data in Asia and America. You monitor ground-nesting birds in tropics? Then consider joining us! Contact me :) #ornithology #birds #tropicalecology

We've just launched AviList! - the new unified global taxonomic checklist for the world's birds, developed through the Working Group on Avian Classification, including BirdLife, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, IOC and others @birdlifeglobal.bsky.social @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social www.avilist.org
A very cool (but sad) case study on great tit entanglement in the nest, conducted mostly by students from our biological science club! 🐦 doi.org/10.1080/2475...
Entangled in fibers: a preliminary study of a great tit’s (Parus major) fatal encounter with anthropogenic nesting material
Animals often incorporate anthropogenic materials into their nests, a behavior that is increasingly common as human activities expand and alter natural habitats. Although such behavior in birds is ...

I recently received Principles of Soundscape Ecology as a gift. Overall, it’s a very good introduction to the science of acoustics. Personally, I’d have appreciated more on sound fundamentals and less on analysis methods. It’s great for beginners, though. #sciencereads
Our new article is here! Lots of hard work with detection ranges of 43 species, but nothing is ever easy when it comes to bird detectability… 🦉

This weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting Biebrza National Park in northeastern Poland. Sadly, the region is facing a hydrological drought—where there should be water, there’s only dry grass. Is this the new normal?
