🪰 Fluer i fjøs og stall kan stresse dyr, spre smitte og skape problemer for dyreholdet. Kan rovfluer og snylteveps brukes for å bekjempe dem uten å skade norsk natur? VKM har vurdert risikoen og konkluderer med at disse nyttedyrene utgjør liten risiko for biologisk mangfold. cstu.io/23ecd3

✨ 36 years ✨ An Avocet ringed as a chick at RSPB Titchwell, Norfolk, in 1990 smashed longevity records this year! It was sighted at RSPB Middleton Lakes in June 2026. The average lifespan of an Avocet is approximately 6 years, so this is an incredible age. 🙌 📷 Philip Croft / BTO

An Avocet, a wading bird with black and white plumage, twists its head to preen under its wing with its long decurved bill, as the sun reflects off rippled water that it is standing in.

New #ornithology paper out in @royalsocietypublishing.org! We show that female dotterels can move across large distances within a single breeding season in search of mating opportunities, visiting up to five different sites (median: 3) and travelling up to 1000 km between sites (median: 71 km). 1/n
