Knepp has sparrowhawk, goshawk, 5 species of owl (4 breeding), does not control foxes, magpies, carrion crows etc yet has high densities of songbirds. Could this be a result of the dense structure of bushes caused by grazing? More conservation videos at youtube.com/@bill_sutherland

Our first in-person meeting in two years!! And what a meeting 😀😃: @JLQbird @UCC_Ireland visits us from Ireland, and speaks about the drivers of problem-solving, group living, personality and microbiomes. (And tomorrow I have to deliver a capercaillie in return 😅)

Today we have an article in @ConversationUK on our recent research looking at #animalpersonality and inhibitory control with #foraging flexibility in great tits. @JLQbird #animalbehaviour Follow the link: theconversation.com/birds-fe…

Birds’ feeding habits are affected by their personality and self-control – new research

We discovered that the ability to be flexible and change behaviour in certain circumstances is just as important for birds as people.
