#EOU2025 is starting in #Bangor (Wales, UK). Come to see my poster on nocturnal bird migration at the Mediteranean coast in France. #migraLion #aeroecology #ornithology @vogelwarte.bsky.social

Radar monitoring showed birds heading south crossing the Mediteranen sea in the Camargue, but migration intensity was lower in the Camargue than further west where most birds follow the coast towards Spain.

Happy to co-organise a symposium on migratory birds and artificial light at night: from research to policy. #ornithology #aeroecology submit 👆🏽your abstract before March 15 😀 #eou2025

Summary text of the planned EOU symposium (Bangor, Wales UK, 18-22 August 2025):

Artificial light at night (ALAN) can drastically alter the environment of migratory birds, both on their breeding grounds, non-breeding grounds and during their migratory journeys. ALAN can therefore disrupt the birds' evolved response to natural changes in environmental light. For example, light is an important cue for determining the circa-annual cycle of birds, and birds use it to orientate during their migratory flights. The scale of the problem has been recognised by the Bonn Convention on Migratory Species (CMS), which aims to identify knowledge gaps and develop guidelines to reduce the impact of light pollution on migratory species. This symposium aims to present the latest research on the effects of ALAN on migratory birds, identify research gaps, and to improve our understanding of how to adapt research projects in order to translate research results into policy and legislation.

Three years to explore, develop and implement a near-term bird migation forecast. SEMAFOR final meeting in Toulouse at météoFrance. So greateful to have worked with wonderful people #aeroecology #radar #ornithology #vogelwarte_ch www.france-energies-marines.org/wp-content/u...
