@co-la.bsky.socialReposted by @joewynnbirds.bsky.socialSince 2 years I worked on my first exhibition! The vernissage at WattBZ Wilhelmshaven was wonderful. A special thanks goes to Klaus as the curator, who made a great jop in putting everything together, and to Peter Südbeck, @genmig.bsky.social and Dr. Köhler for the introduction and speaches!

& many others! We study yellow-browed warblers in Europe: where from, where to, what happens in winter & spring – could a new migration route evolve? 2 birds sampled on Helgoland so far. #birdmigration
@joewynnbirds.bsky.social(And thanks to my parents for the loan of their van. It’s much nicer than mine.)
@joewynnbirds.bsky.socialThe birds are only half the fun on trips like this though! Been a proper adventure van camping around the northern isles searching for wind-blown songbirds 🐥Mega thanks to the Shetland Ringing Group for being so welcoming, projects not possible without the support of talented and dedicated ringers
@joewynnbirds.bsky.socialThe autumn arrival of yellow-browed warblers is pure magic every year. This season we’ve been on Shetland taking genomic samples from these enigmatic birds, in the hope we can link ’reverse’ migration to underlying genomic factors 🧬🗺️ excited to see what we find!
@joewynnbirds.bsky.socialLovely work from Paddy! Worth a read if you want to dive into the increasingly complex story of avian magnetoreception 🧭🗺️🐥
@co-la.bsky.socialReposted by @joewynnbirds.bsky.socialTo the birding community: one of our GPS-tagged redshanks was predated during its migration in France. We would be very greatful if we could have the GPS tag back and get as much information as possible from the bird!

@tmbirding.bsky.socialReposted by @joewynnbirds.bsky.socialArrived at the tail end of a "classic" Farmoor day in easterlies and rain - managed to connect with a few passage waders including county scarce Curlew Sand and Knot, plus found a new juvenile Caspian Gull. Then finally a view which every Baltic Gull enthusiastic waits for... 1/2
