What looks like a dark morph Lapwing seen at #RSPBGreylake #Somerset this morning. It was very aggressive to any other Lapwing that came to close.

Dette er lovende. Ingen grunn til å spre et problem, selv om det kan se vakkert ut. Men den virkelig store trusselen mot naturmangfoldet vårt er den store nedbyggingen av naturens vår, og andre arealendringer. www.nrk.no/norge/miljod...

Miljødirektoratet ønsker å forby en rekke planter. Men slapp av – du skal få beholde dem du har i hagen.

Hudsonian Whimbrel split from Eurasian Whimbrel on ABA checklist
Three new species added to the ABA Checklist!
Two splits (Whimbrel, Yellow Warbler) and a recent distributional record (Waved Albatross) raise the ABA Area list to 1,161 species.

Our latest paper on Golden Eagle research in Scotland, using DNA from moulted feathers to assess apparent survival in territorial adults. As ever, data collection from Scottish Raptor Study Group @scottishraptorsg.bsky.social was vital.

Norway has proposed Snowy Owl be added to Convention on Migratory Species Appendix II, at #CMSCOP15 (Brazil, March 2026), as a species of unfavourable conservation status requiring international agreement for its conservation. @cms.int Scientific Council will evaluate the proposal this week in Bonn.
The Snowy Owl has been declared Regionally Extinct in Sweden. For the first time in 20 years, the country has officially lost a bird species. - www.birdlife.org/news/2025/12...

Attributed to a combination of climate change and disruption to the lemming cycle. A tragedy.

After taking (too) many pictures of scales we finally have our new study out: Identifying escaped farmed salmon from scales using deep learning: academic.oup.com/biomethods/a...
The model works well and covers the major Atlantic salmon rivers in Norway. Could be adpated to other fish and places!

When you deploy a tracking device, how long do you expect it to last? We all hope for the best, but that's often not reality. 😞 For more information, check out Emily Weiser's new paper with help from many (many) folks in the shorebird community. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Power source, data retrieval method, and attachment type affect success of dorsally mounted tracking tag deployments in 37 species of shorebirds
Animal-borne trackers are commonly used to study bird movements, including in long-distance migrants such as shorebirds. Selecting a tracker and attachment method can be daunting, and methodological ...
