DNA analysis of poop sample from 'Eastern' Stonechat from Holy Island, Oct 24, confirmed it was a Siberian Stonechat S. maurus, which tbh is what it looked like BirdGuides RareBirdAlertUK

Now published in eLife - the journal Magnificent stripy eye work from Alicia Hurtado and colleagues showing everyone's second favourite gene, Sox9, is needed in the stem cells that maintain the corneal surface. elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…

DNA lab: Another halimodendri Lesser Whitethroat turned up, genetic subtype 2b like nearly all the others. Sandwich Bay, 4/10/24.

Got suspended earlier for this tweet from over a week ago. "Inciting violence", indeed. Yeah, lads, there's a load of us with a hundred missiles and the capability of sending someone to the moon just waiting for an opportunity. Thick fucks

Recent DNA lab results include: Hume's Warbler, Spurn, Nov 24, confirmed as nominate humei. 'Eastern Stonechat', Icklesham, Nov 24, was Siberian maurus. and both Black-faced Buntings - Donna Nook and North Ron, were both just that.

Come, join us on the other side.
