Listen up anyone working in the Irish Sea this summer! We tagged a bunch of kitts in Liverpool Bay and want to gather as many resightings as we can. If you spot these yellow colour rings please give me a shout (dla205@exeter.ac.uk) 🐦💍💛 (Modelled by our very own VIP 😌👑) #Seabirds #IrishSea

New paper! @jappliedecology.bsky.social bit.ly/3C5gYJp We mapped out the migrations of over 10K ind ⚫-tailed godwits (!) to characterize connectivity between sites in Europe and Africa. We compiled tracking data, ring recoveries and resightings: >400K records in total! (1/5)

Forgotten Forests: 03 (1/3) I had the absolute pleasure to learn the 4000 year old practice of Cornish hedge building with the Cornwall Rural Education and Skills Trust CIO (CREST)! Rows of stone packed in with soil, these structures can last for hundreds of years...
