#BESMove2025

🧪🌍

Reflecting on #BESMove2025, nice couple days chatting all things #MovementEcology and meeting friends old & new. Thank you @besmovesig.bsky.social and the meeting organisers for your hard work to deliver a stacked and smooth running schedule and fun socials. Looking forward to the next one!

This week we were at #BESMove2025, where @giovannasandretti.bsky.social presented our results on the overlooked pre-migratory flights.
The conference title of this year was "Understanding Migration", and she came back home full of fresh insights and great new connections!

Had a great few days at #BESMove2025 - lots of interesting talks and nice to get a chance to share some of my tagging results 🦆

Travelling back from an excellent couple of days in Norwich at the #BESMove2025 conference! 🐾🌍🦢

Thanks to @besmovesig.bsky.social and everyone who attended for another great meeting. 👋

@bioss.bsky.social

A great thank you to the organizers of #BESMove2025!

It was really nice meeting new and old friends, hearing about so many interesting studies and even enjoying nice weather that allowed me to see the local wildlife 😅.

See you next year?

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.

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

If you're interested in hearing about the @besmovesig.bsky.social annual meeting, I am posting updates (irregularly!) from the group's account #BESMove2025

We're kicking off day 2 of our annual meeting with a plenary by @wmgvs.bsky.social on raptor and seabird migration #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.

For our second plenary, @samanthacpatrick.bsky.social takes us through considering habitat selection and phenotypic plasticity together in seabirds #BESMove2025

#BESMove2025

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

Our 2025 annual meeting is off to a great start with a wonderful morning of talks so far. Follow along and join the conversation with #BESMove2025
