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.

Bird migration is changing. What does this reveal about our planet? – visualised
Bird migrations rank as one of nature’s greatest spectacles. Thanks to GPS tracking, scientists are uncovering extraordinary insights into ancient and mysterious journeys – and new threats that are reshaping them.

During the last days, 2 of our tagged Glossy ibis left Iberia to Morocco. "Giganta", the 2nd-year bird on the left, returned to Doñana 3 days after departing. "Fugas", the juvenile on the right, seems more confident to stay. No tagged birds in the UK for now!

An excellent PhD thesis. Birds don't understand borders, and the community of storks, ibis, gulls etc in the ricefields of the Tagus/Tajo delta is similar to that of the ricefields in Doñana, with similar conservation issues and agricultural conflicts
