Our new commentary led by @GM_Kirwan https://t.co/Qzd0ocm1RC argues that historical art is not a suitable basis for taxonomic speculation and that the 'Meidum Geese' in the Chapel of Itet are not a new species and are most safely identified as Red-breasted Geese #Ornithology
@StuartARothery @RareBirdAlertUK Chiffchaff is increasing, helped by having a broader thermal niche and getting one over on WW by barely bothering to migrate in many places
17M UK households spend £250M on 150K tonnes of bird food annually. Great if you are a dominant species like a Blue Tit but what about if you are subordinate species like a Willow Tit?

@ecoevoenviro Yep, Tundra plovers in temperate landscapes. Curlews are legitimate lowland meadow species, I worry about them and Snipe more than I do Golden Plovers. Better to create patches of high quality habitat for hill waders than create huge expanses of poor quality habitat for them.
@voice_rural @TrooperSnooks @NorthernGather2 @ShootingTimes @bustardgroup @Natures_Voice Andy at the risk of this being a distraction to bustards, Capers co-occur with those species across millions of km2 of Eurasia without a problem. Disturbance and deer densities/fences are major changes and humans... https://t.co/n2qX7qGraT
Now that everyone has got tired of Daily Express 'snow bomb' stories it is clearly go big or go home time 👇
