Great to see our #BlackStorks back!

Our field season has officially begun! 😍 Last week we visited our #WhiteStork colonies in Portugal and there were already full clutches with 5 eggs! 🤯 Our White Storks are not wasting any time!

🚀 Exciting news! Our website is officially live! Explore our latest efforts for bird conservation at EUFLYNET.eu 🦜💻 #EUFLYNET #BirdMigration #BirdConservation #MigratoryBirds

In our new paper, led by Juan Serratosa, 1704 deaths of 45 large, migratory bird species we tracked show that human-caused deaths are more than natural deaths. Majority of deaths are from electrocution (40.5%), illegal killing (21.7%) & poisoning (16.3%): sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Crossing my fingers to have some #roller pairs visiting the nests soon!

Our newborn #WhiteStorks are famous! Today they were interviewed by AFP News Agency and they had a lot to say 😍

10 years ago we use geolocators to track the first #EuropeanRollers and discovered their wintering areas (link.springer.com/article/10.100…). Last year, under our Projecto_Rolieiro project, we fitted some rollers with GPS tags, and last week one of them was back from its amazing journey!

Happy to have contributed to this great work led by giacomoassandri assessing #LesserKestrel exposure to wind farms in Europe and Africa. BIOPOLIS-CIBIO

Tracked migratory birds are documenting their own deaths along the African-Eurasian flyway. Energy infrastructure, illegal killing & poisoning to blame, outstripping natural mortality causes in tracked raptors, storks & cranes. #Ornithology doi.org/10.1016/j.bioc…

Cientistas estão a estudar a migração dos rolieiros que nidificam em Castro Verde, no âmbito de um projeto gerido pela Estação Biológica de Mértola. A Wilder falou com a investigadora @TeresaCatry e conta-lhe as últimas novidades. 📷Francesco Veronesi wilder.pt/naturalistas/i…

European Rollers absolutely love nest-boxes. Brand new boxes, some deployed as late as mid April, already have a very good occupation rate! #conservation #ornithology #nestboxes

Longitudinal GPS-tracking studies are crucial to unveil the behavioural ageing patterns in long-lived species. This is such a great example, with #GriffonVultures.

Congrats Tatsuya Amano for the British Ecological Society Equality and Diversity prize. So very well deserved!

We are the Research Group of #SteppeBirds, created in February 2023. We aim to promote #research and #conservation of steppe birds and their #habitats. Are you interested in joining our Newsletter and Research Group? Follow us and subscribe! Link in the bio ⬆️

We are already in October, but some of our #WhiteStork fledglings are still reluctant to cross the Straits! Although named after a Portuguese island, Berlenga - unlike many famous Portuguese sailors - does not seem to be at the forefront of European overseas exploration!

Among the Portuguese, few will know the #EuropeanRoller, despite its extraordinary colors and being one of the most endangered birds in our country. Promoting our work is a first step towards changing that!

Human-wildlife conflicts are growing worldwide. In the rice fields of the Tagus river basin we made the first attempt to assess cost-effectiveness of dissuasion techniques targeting #waterbirds. 📢Check the results at doi.org/10.1016/j.jenv… #conservation

🫵last days to apply: we are looking for a motivated PhD candidate to work on movement strategies of birds using tracking data (deadline 8th January)
