What a great bunch of birdy folk! @bou.org.uk #BOUatEOU #ornithology #EOU2025

What a venue for a conference! @eounion.bsky.social @bangoruniversity.bsky.social #EOU2025 #BOUatEOU #ornithology

A common theme at the @bou.org.uk Woodland Birds symposium #BOUatEOU is we all work with birds in decline, which can be depressing! But @lesserspotnet.bsky.social boosted morale with great news that lesser spotted woodpeckers are doubling their brood sizes 🎉 A gold standard citizen science project 👊

Today's @bou.org.uk woodland birds symposium was the perfect warm up for the @eounion.bsky.social conference here at @bangoruniversity.bsky.social. I especially enjoyed Gilberto Pasinelli's keynote looking at how seed masts, rodents + predators influence wood warbler fecundity & survival. #BOUatEOU

My first international conference research talk in 10 years - scary! It's hard starting up a study system from scratch with no research group but with strong collaborations, hard work & great study species - there is progress. It was great to share today with @bou.org.uk folk #BOUatEOU #ornithology

Check out my BlueSky talk at #BOUatEOU on rewilding Excited to share my research at #BOUatEOU on breeding failure of tawny owls (Strix aluco) in commercial plantations 🦉🌲 How do owls deal with changing food availability and the return of a new nest predator? #ornithology #predation #prey-switching

1/ Developing conservation policies for declining migrant species amid 🌍 change is challenging. I’m at #BOUatEOU presenting my findings on factors influencing breeding success for the conservation of Pied flycatchers in the Peak District 🐦 #ornithology #ecology #climate #conservationscience

I've made it to #EOU2025 in Bangor, and I'm starting with the #BOUatEOU symposium on #WoodlandBirds. Lovely talk by Ken Smith, who's been studying the nesting habits of #LesserSpottedWoodpeckers in the UK over decades. #CitizenScience @lesserspotnet.bsky.social @bou.org.uk @eounion.bsky.social

1/ 🧵 How to protect declining forest birds? Studies from near-pristine habitats can help us answer this question. My keynote talk #BOUatEOU presents findings from our long-term bird studies in the primeval Białowieża Forest (BF) 🇵🇱 #openaccess paper👉 doi.org/10.3161/0001... #ornithology

Woodlands birds symposium about to start at Bangor. Looking forward to a great series of talks. #BOUatEOU #ornithology

Welcome to #BOUatEOU Woodland Birds, our one-day symposium at #EOU2025 Stay up-to-date with the symposium here on Bluesky by following #BOUatEOU, where presenters will be sharing their research via short threads. #ornithology 🪶🧪 🧵1/10

Presenting at #BOUatEOU 🦉 My talk explores tawny owl breeding success in Kielder Forest. With 40 years of data + field experiments, we find that food availability wins but pine marten colonisation is an emerging predictor of failure in owls. #predation #communityassembly #interactions
