In our next Digital Twin Showcase blog we discuss how Digital Twin stakeholders can look to develop a set of clear principles, aimed at ensuring Digital Twins maintain a clear purpose, are trustworthy, and function effectively. Read more here: ow.ly/pRJL50NHUxO

Population delineation based on sound knowledge of movements, distribution & numbers involved of where two populations of the same species may occur is important in population monitoring schemes. Two populations of Whooper Swan occur in Europe 2/8
Satellites for Biodiversity - could your #biodiversity project use $5000 of high resolution imagery - tasked to your requirements - from space?! Perhaps habitat #mapping, colony #monitoring, #migration routes..?🐧🛰️
Apply here 👇
Are you looking to use 30cm or 50cm high-resolution #satellite imagery for biodiversity conservation?🛰️
Apply for our new Satellites for Biodiversity Award! We've teamed up with
@AirbusFdn to award $5,000 & access to

Bird migration explorer - fantastic interactive mapping showcasing how different #tech4wildlife has been used to track birds on their #migration routes #cartography 🐦🦅🗺️
#Biologgers and birdwatchers alike will want to check out this incredible new #tech4wildlife platform that turns migration data into interactive maps highlighting over 450 species. Read all about the new Bird Migration Explorer:

A sad day on Friday with the realisation that #avianinfluenza is clearly affecting the #StKilda Puffin population too. Up to 11 dead Pufflings outside burrows around the colony fringes so far. @smp_seabirds @N_T_S @nature_scot @JNCC_UKseabirds

The #shelduck continue to surprise! After 10 days on the Dee, this adult male moved to the Wadden Sea, ignoring east coast moult sites. He's done the reverse of my flight in April, passing lots of offshore wind farms & gas platforms. See all tracks on shelducks.co.uk/gps-tracking… #phd
Buzzing after my flight back from #CWW2022. Followed Shelduck mig route from Wadden Sea -> @WWTMartinMere. Saw moult sites @ both ends & the wind farms that are working hard to offset my carbon miles. Birds eye view will help me interpret my results though! #phdlife @_BTO @SEG_UL
ALT Den Helder & Dutch Wadden sea, where Shelduck moult.
ALT Offshore wind turbines working hard to offset my flights carbon output.
ALT Morecambe Bay, the Ribble and WWT Martin Mere. All Shelduck hotspots.
ALT The Mersey river and estuary; one of the largest UK moult sites.

Some excellent and well guided advice from @nature_scot regarding the Avian Flu which is impacting many Scottish islands.
If you intend to land on the Shiants please can we ask to take these precautions to ensure we protect the important populations.

Fully support @_BTO call for collaboration and enhanced monitoring of population dynamics, movements and #avianflu effects in #seabirds to address this crisis.
We must eke out every insight from the data we have, and plan how to fill significant knowledge gaps.

Welcome news that NatureScot has established a task force in response to the impact of avian flu on our #seabirds. The timing of this outbreak could have far reaching effects on our seabird populations & a national co-ordinated response is a much needed step. – at North Berwick, Scotland
NatureScot will lead a new taskforce to co-ordinate a national response to the avian influenza crisis. The group will draw on experience from government, conservation orgs, local authorities & researchers to drive a collective response to the crisis. More: ow.ly/bcJB50JVG1a

Terrible and getting worryingly close to @ShiantIsles – at Scotland, United Kingdom
How does one define a pond? I’ve pondered it myself, especially when looking at @OrdnanceSurvey’s AddressBase classifications…:
What is a pond?! We’re excited to announce our new publication rdcu.be/cP6tH in @SciReports that compiles existing scientific and legal pond definitions, compares how ponds functionally compare to lakes and wetlands, and proposes an evidence-based pond definition. 1/n
Somewhere to report #Jellyfish sightings @AlcaTorda17 @ptarmiganthony
Last year, 1509 sightings of #Jellyfish were reported to us, providing us with important data 📊
If you see any jellies, be sure to let us know! mcsuk.org/what-you-can-do/si… @DefraGovUK @HeritageFundUK #WildlifeSighting #GreenRecoveryChallengeFund #TogetherForOurPlanet

Their Indian Ocean traverse gives new insights into #SeabirdMigration ecology, and is a behaviour that may have been maintained since the last ice age. Pdf on email request.

Run rigs and enclosures on Eilean Mhuire, Shiant islands. QGIS and Whitebox ElevPercentile. This colourises cell according to its rank within a radius... here, about 5m. Good for picking out ditches and walls.. a high pass filter.
Great animated goose migration map : one goose seemed reluctant to leave its stopover on the Faroe Islands 👇

USING BIOLOGGING TO CLASSYIFY INCUBATION EVENTS
Biologging creates terabytes of data detailing movement and behaviours at fine spatiotemporal resolutions. However its application to ecological life history questions is not fully explored

This is a Common Furrow Bee and it nests on its own in a sunny spot on your lawn, feeding on dandelions. If your garden looks like the example below, you are providing nothing for this Bee and thousands of other species. STOP LAYING ASTROTURF!
