#iwsg2025 Is over, and I already missed it. Happy that so many people wanted to chitchat with me about my vaporware poster about 3D nest morphology, or about our( @dillensegerg.bsky.social ) project about Andean shorebird breeding timing! See you next year @waderstudy.bsky.social !

The diversity in plumage and behaviors of #ruffs is stunning and probably an underused asset for their #conservation @simonvandepitte.bsky.social #IWSG2025 #shorebirds #ornithology

Something to look for in #wader nests. Blue eggs are becoming increasingly common in #ruff clutches @jellybb.bsky.social #IWSG2025 #shorebirds #conservation

Interesting talk by @jellybb.bsky.social about the aberrant egg coloration in Ruff clutches. Blue eggs may affect nest survival, but fitness effects may be habitat dependent. @waderstudy.bsky.social IWSG Conference 2025 in Groningen (Netherlands) #IWSG2025 #waders #shorebirds
