Extremelly happy that our project BirdRice was approved for funding! We will keep studying the relationships between #waterbirds and #ricefields while trying to solve human-wildlife conflicts.

A death trap in the nest: anthropogenic nest materials cause high mortality in a terrestrial bird | www.sciencedirect.co... | Ecological Indicators | #ornithology 🪶

While monitoring storks over the years, we’ve noticed the alarming numbers of chicks entangled in ropes. In this paper, we quantified the impacts!
In our new paper led by Ursula Heize, we show that >90% of #WhiteStork nests have anthropogenic materials (plastics, paper, etc). Ropes are particularly dangerous: ~12% of the chicks became entangled on ropes, particularly on baler twine!

Spring has arrived, and so have the first rollers!

Our team is working hard to provide them with the best nesting sites. Follow our journey!

The breeding season is moving along nicely, and most #WhiteStork eggs have already hatched!

Here is 5Y+, a 9-year-old male ringed as a chick in 2016, with his three hatchlings and two remaining eggs.

Storks are amazing birds. Tracking them for many years enabled us to find some cool stuff!
What drives the loss of migration in large long-lived birds? Andrade et al. combine genomics, census and tracking data of white storks, highlighting the role of developmental plasticity in driving fast responses to environmental conditions🪽 buff.ly/zIkvqRU

time flies and the first #WhiteStorks eggs are already hatching! Look at this!
#ornithology
On the 27th of March, we welcomed our first #WhiteStork hatchlings! And one was still struggling to get out of the egg when we arrived!

We've been following #Barlavento for many years now. This winter, his GPS device stopped working in Senegal and we were unsure about his fate. It was a relief to find him well this week, ready to start another breeding season! Well done Barlavento!

We are working to revert the decline of the European Roller (Coracias garrulus) in Portugal, with 156 nest-boxes ready for the upcoming breeding season!

How many will be occupied this year? Stay tuned!
