Day 68 of the 47th # Gotland season! After some May showers Gotland returned with dazzling sunny weather :) first flycatchers started to hatch, but this years weird. The blue tit population was hit hard by blåmessjuka („blue tit disease”) caused by Corynebacteria - Suttonella ornithocola.

Day 49: the season is ramping up really slowly… Tits started laying eggs very late and in two bouts (below blue tit data) and flycatchers - well, they started on the 11th but then most females decided to wait ;)

Day 22 of the 26th Gotland season! We started on the 14th of April - it’s a surprisingly odd spring here in #Gotland. Exceptionally early arrivals of warblers (chiffchaff, willow warbler and blackcap already gear on the 18th) and exceptionally late for hole nesters (it’s past the 20th and we have

It's been a busy summer for our scientists. Several of them attended the #ESEB2025 conference in Barcelona.

Another paper from the lab, this time using very long time series of our flycatcher data.

Not much, just the usual Swedish Midsommar WEATHER DISASTER 🫣 stormy winds, cold showers and apparent temp close to 5 degrees C. Luckily most of our flycatcher broods managed to fledge, fingers crossed for all of them to make out of the island in August;)

#gotland #fieldwork Day 32: it seems our blue tits finally saw the feathers we left for them to choose from. This one used a lovely set of white (not ours) feathers with an eclectic set of blue peacock feathers :)

We’re piloting a new study - looking at aesthetic tastes of blue tits, and possibly visual style copying behaviour. Today we distributed artificial bird bodies (mimicking the usual source of feathers for BTs - dead birds and leftover feathers). We used feathers of peacocks, Japanese quails and

We are starting our new season #gotland2025 - with warm weather, birds already starting first nests, and a visit to a changed Fide Odvalds plot (see photo: they cut down some of the densest parts, in efforts (as I was told) to eradicate invasive Rubus species…). The highlight of today:
