What a great and welcoming community at #BESMove2025! Was a real pleasure to share a cultural perspective on #bird #migration based on field and tracking studies of raptors and shorebirds.
We're kicking off day 2 of our annual meeting with a plenary by @wmgvs.bsky.social on raptor and seabird migration #BESMove2025

Our final plenary was by @aldinafranco.bsky.social taking us through 10 years of movement ecology at our host institution, UEA. Interesting insights from the reintroduced white storks in the UK, and a brief mention of boulder tagging to track landslides! #BESMove2025

This morning's talks have been on the theme of threats to migration and other movement behaviours. We've heard about adult vs juvenile migration strategies, dispersal and wildlife corridors, human-driven causes of mortality, prey depletion/displacement and more! #BESMove2025

What a wonderful day at the #BESMove2025! Fascinating talks, great people, beautiful campus (see pic).

Really excited to talk about the migratory movements of Steppe Eagles tomorrow.

This year's meeting theme is Understanding Migration. So far we've learned lots about how migration and flocking are affected by energetics, memory, personality and safe sea passages, from studies on storks, pigeons and falcons #BESMove2025
