Fantastic to see this coverage, both in text and in photos, of our work with bar-tailed #godwits and #wilsterflappers in the #WaddenSea, and how we try to develop #BirdEyes as a new centre of discovery and outreach University of Groningen in Leeuwarden. @NIOZnieuws IBED #flyway

Such a lovely piece! #YearofTerns EAAFP

We're excited to announce the launch of the Bird Migration Explorer, a first-of-its-kind digital platform that reveals migration data for birds across the western hemisphere—just in time for fall migration! Check out this free, interactive platform today: birdmigrationexplorer.org

Reminiscing about the time I found a Nordmann's Greenshank #nest in Schaste Bay, RFE in July of 2021. Such beautiful habitat! So much left to learn about these incredible birds! #Endangered #EAAF #shorebirds

See the link for a short report on tracking Nordmann's Greenshanks from Schaste Bay, Russian Far East with Nano GPS devices. For the full report, please feel free to contact me directly! EAAFP eaaflyway.net/tracking-nordm…

The only known footage of Nordmann's Greenshanks mating! Captured 5 June 2019 on a low tide mudflat of Schaste Bay, Russian Far East. #Endangered #EAAF #Shorebirds

Nordmann's Greenshank nest in trees and on the ground! In both cases they depend on Larch trees for protection from adverse weather and predators. Pictured is an incubating adult, the host sapling (can you spot the bird??), and chicks! Schaste Bay, Russian Far East, June 2021.

During nesting, Nordmann's Greenshank primarily consume small fish - Ninespine Sticklebacks. After catching, birds need to turn the fish so the spines don't interfere with swallowing. This is not especially graceful...Schaste Bay, 6 June 2019 #Russia #Endangered #EAAF #Shorebirds

Finally, objective achieved: I published all research chapters before finishing my PhD! #thankgodwit It feels like I've written a detective novel. I hope you will find it interesting : ) researchgate.net/project/Black-…

Fantastic short film by our Russian partners, showcasing the plight of walrus in this period of rapid climate change. Kudos to the hard work of people like Maxim Chakilev. USFWS Alaska Marine Mammal Commission @CAFFSecretariat newyorker.com/culture/the-ne… via The New Yorker

This summer I was fortunate to meet the talented David Personius and his mesmerizing wooden shorebird decoys. I am now the proud owner of a handsome and regal Nordmann's Greenshank! Check out his amazing work at etsy.com/shop/DavidPers…

So fun to see how WWF Hong Kong-tagged Nordmann's Greenshank "Siu Ching" migrated from a stopover area in coastal China to a likely wintering area on Nga Man Thaung Island, Myanmar! Follow along!

Sometimes, the path to studying Nordmann's Greenshanks in the Russian Far East can get a bit messy... Summer 2021 - road between Nikolayevsk-on-Amur and Schaste Bay #Endangered #EAAF #Shorebirds #Russia

Migratory shorebirds face many challenges, not least are stray dogs. Even if the pups cant catch them, the energy expended flying away is costly & makes birds vulnerable to avian predators. 7 Nordmann's Greenshanks @ BangKaeo, Phetchaburi, #Thailand #Endangered #EAAF #Shorebirds

Join the coming #OBC webinar on 11 Feb, 10am UKTime. Philipp Maleko WCS and Khwankhao Sinhaseni @BCSThailand will share with us the mysterious life of Nordmann's Greenshank in its breeding and wintering grounds.📝Register at: tinyurl.com/47enr39r

#Endangered Nordmann's Greenshanks are rather plastic in the location of their nest site (as long as its directly associated with a larch tree...) See our new paper! 🥳🐣 @JonathanSlaght @PowellBirds #EAAF #Nesting #Shorebirds #Russia cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Curious as to where and how Nordmann's Greenshanks move within Thailand and beyond!? Now you can follow their amazing journeys via Global Flyway Network. Simply follow the link (globalflywaynetwork.org/flyway/east-as…) and filter birds by project or species! Just in time for northward migration 🥳

It is very exciting for Global Flyway Network to be enabled to share, real time, forthcoming tracks of 3 more Nordmann's Greenshanks tagged in Thailand by Philipp Maleko! These three (zoom in at globalflywaynetwork.org/flyway/east-as…) add to story of SIU CHING, tagged in HongKong last year, now in India.

“Each of the threats (…) requires specific place-based management interventions if long-term conservation of Spotted Greenshank, and other shorebirds, is to be accomplished at these sites.” – Philipp Maleko et al. waderstudygroup.org/article/18653/ #waders #shorebirds #ornithology

Proud to publish a Forum piece in Wader Study about protecting shorebirds (e.g., Spotshanks) in the Inner Gulf of Thailand thanks to WCS, @BCSThailand, and BirdLife Asia. One small step in the fight to safeguard our feathered friends! waderstudygroup.org/article/18653/
