1/ #UEACEEC21 #Sesh5 Good afternoon🙂 We know the only constant in ecology is change. Populations change b/w years & over decades due to variation in survival & productivity. Data gathered by many wonderful @_BTO volunteers allow us to unpick some of this btoringing.blogspot.com/2020…
What a perfect description... @juliet_vickery @_BTO
But what does this loss look like? My attempt to visualise it: each bird represents 1 million pairs - many more (57) fade out than are replaced (21). Thanks to all @_BTO #volunteers whose observations provide evidence for action👉strategy.bto.org/ #ornithology #conservation

There's some amazing art in the #sketchforsurvival auction for #wildlife #conservation Scroll down to Lot 174 - a beautiful drawing of a #curlew by fabulously talented @_BTO artist @ruthwalkerap - get your bid in now to enjoy this on your wall #ornithology explorersagainstextinction.i…
I think this might be a first - @_bto staff left in the bar by Scottish #birdringing folks, even if @rock_nester is on the edge. What an inspirational day hearing about the "known unknowns”.
The value of "in person" mtgs for stimulating thought cant be underestimated #ornithology
Swifts are my favourite bird 😍 Not really "ours“ but Africans who come here to breed #soundofsummer Birds know no borders! So great to work w/ @Natures_Voice & @Rothamsted using @_BTO #citizenscience data to figure out why they are declining doi.org/10.1111/ibi.13156 #ornithology

In the last year the 7(!) biggest oil companies made $150bn profit (not turnover) which ranks them 55 of 190 countries worldometers.info/gdp/gdp-by… We should take a moment to reflect whether this is really acceptable?

What a great idea & so much better than some weve seen recently. Building a different future, even if it is only one tree, is a much more constructive & engaging way to show how society can change for the better. Well played @xryouthuk Surely @MayorofLondon can nourish such hope?
A powerful symbol of hope. Yesterday, members of @xryouthuk planted an Oak sapling in Parliament Square, in the desolate grounds where all the grass died in this summer's heatwaves.
We're asking @MayorofLondon to #KeepTheTree. The seeds of change need fostering more than ever.
What a fabulous evening at @_bto #MarshAwards - a well-deserved set of recipients including the esteemed @TheLabAndField, great craic & some amazing art. If you are in #London go 👉mallgalleries.org.uk/whats-o… but sorry, one fewer to choose from now 😁 #art #conservation #ornithology
A great opportunity to work with a really rather wonderful person and scientist doing work that makes a real difference. What are you all waiting for? #ornithology #conservation

Great work @AilidhBarnes
It struck me how simple the idea of "habitat recording" is... Until you get to the detail of "what is habitat?" And then it becomes very tricky!
🚨📢 Do I know any #ornithology or #BirdRinging tweeps near #grimsby #cleethorpes @spurnbirdobs who might be up for retrieving an oystercatcher satellite tag that has fallen off after two years? (Almost) Eternal gratitude and a beer or two for anyone up for the challenge 🙏
Some fabulous #vegetarian #HealthyFood sets @_EURING participants up for a short lunchtime stroll through some woodland - with understory layers - a bit of a surprise for those of us from areas with higher deer populations! #conservation #wildlife #ecology #BirdRinging
The sun is out in @loireatlantique and @_EURING participants are making the most of it in their discussion of priorities for future #BirdRinging activities in Europe #ornithology

Absolutely thrilled to be in delightful @loireatlantique
with representatives of #BirdRinging schemes from 30+ countries to promote collaboration in #ornithology across Europe. Thanks @Kloe & @FHervochon for the warm welcome & intro to great ecological initiatives in the area
Les 4 et 5 octobre, la Maison du Lac de Grand Lieu accueille l’AG @_EURING en présence de @Kloe , VPdte de département de @loireatlantique
Cette organisation vise à promouvoir et encourager la coopération scientifique pour la gestion et la conservation des oiseaux @ohubert44
Starting my journey to France for my first in-person meeting of @_EURING as Chair hosted by Pierre-Yves Henry @UMR_MECADEV. Privileged to work with 30+ #BirdRinging schemes for #ornithology & #conservation & celebrate the amazing migrationatlas.org/ #trains #lowcarbon
Apparently I've made it to France - people really should tidy up their #meccano sets when they've finished with them. One more connection to go...
Come work with me :) a great opportunity to do some cool stuff with @_BTO #BirdRinging and other data using #RStats
#AcademicTwitter #ornithology #PhD #ECR #researchjobs
To be effective #conservation & #landscape policies must be based on evidence of what actually works. All those who contribute @_BTO data play a small, but crucial, role in helping understand how best to do this. See also this nice thread by @sophusticated xitter.cf/sophusticated/status/1…

Meanwhile, over in Germany they are doing something positive for #nature and #biodiversity #conservation nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
Will @trussliz @KwasiKwarteng @ranil follow suit?
Last weekend I went north for some hill time and, because it was last weekend, I challenged myself to take my photos in #monochrome, which I think was worth it...
