I can’t believe I am writing this, but chick T99 chose another route than his dad L43, and whereas dad seems to safely be hanging out in Spanish Laguna de Gallocanta, the GPS track of T99 suggests predation in Portugal. Here’s the position: maps.app.goo.gl/qHsMCT8HUzWm...

To the birding community: one of our GPS-tagged redshanks was predated during its migration in France. We would be very greatful if we could have the GPS tag back and get as much information as possible from the bird! This is the last position: maps.app.goo.gl/jCWDXDfhnJPT... @genmig.bsky.social

Here’s an update on gull-billed tern L49, whose GPS showed us that it died in France while traveling south: although google street view suggested a power line might have been the problem, the corpse actually suggests that the bird has been shot.

Question: do I know anyone near Nantes who would be willing to pick up a dead gull-billed tern and its logger? L49 has sadly been killed near a road. I’d be very grateful for a picture and the logger and would of course reimburse postage.

Okay, my philosophy of biology peeps! Is there any good literature comparing Western and non-Western views on the "essence" of species - what makes an organism the kind of thing it is (if kinds exist!) - where that comes from, how it could be encoded or transmitted...?
