Bird migration is changing. What does this reveal about our planet? – visualised
Bird migrations rank as one of nature’s greatest spectacles. Thanks to GPS tracking, scientists are uncovering extraordinary insights into ancient and mysterious journeys – and new threats that are reshaping them.

During the last days, 2 of our tagged Glossy ibis left Iberia to Morocco. "Giganta", the 2nd-year bird on the left, returned to Doñana 3 days after departing. "Fugas", the juvenile on the right, seems more confident to stay. No tagged birds in the UK for now! #ornithology #tracking

In our new paper, we show that using ropes as nesting material (particularly baler twine) cause entanglement and mortality #WhiteStork nestlings. It's time to rethink our agricultural practices and materials! @inescatry.bsky.social @aldinafranco.bsky.social #ornithology #ecology #conservation 🧪
Birds on the Move@birdsmove.bsky.social · last yr.In our new paper led by Ursula Heize, we show that >90% of #WhiteStork nests have anthropogenic materials (plastics, paper, etc). Ropes are particularly dangerous: ~12% of the chicks became entangled on ropes, particularly on baler twine! Check out the paper: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

An excellent PhD thesis. Birds don't understand borders, and the community of storks, ibis, gulls etc in the ricefields of the Tagus/Tajo delta is similar to that of the ricefields in Doñana, with similar conservation issues and agricultural conflicts

🚨Publication in @globalchangebio.bsky.social by Lameris et al. → Early snowmelt = earlier egg-laying, but only 2 waterfowl arrived earlier. → Over time, most arrived earlier—regardless of snowmelt or laying. → Why? Faster migration: shorter stopovers = earlier arrival. 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/gcb....
