Common and Oriental cuckoos sneak their eggs into other birds’ nests.

Common cuckoos parasitize over 100 host species, fueling an evolutionary arms race: hosts are under pressure to detect foreign eggs, while cuckoos refine their mimicry to escape detection. 2/6

Who thought that this project would end up in an actual book people can by in shops? I am very happy that the book is out there now and I hope that many will join the journey of the robin on its way south :)
coffee breaks inspire the coolest things, no? It certainly inspired this wonderful project – a kids book on a robin that takes you under its wing on its journey to their wintering grounds. gorgeously illustrated @co-la.bsky.social and beautifully written by a #dreamteam within @sfb1372.bsky.social

We’re hiring a doctoral researcher in the area of migration ecology.
The work will focus on the question of how and when migratory songbirds learn where their home is using #Motus.
