I'm going to wind down my posting on here unless it changes. I'll still check in, and may reply but otherwise I'll be on Bluesky.

Do I know anyone with birding or ornithology contacts in Vietnam? It would be great if you could get in touch. #birds #vietnam

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Got the Nocmig out for a nice session last night including a Tufted Duck! A garden Nocmig first nonetheless. Also plenty of redwings, some nice Wigeon passes and a Dunlin #nocmig trektellen.org/count/view/26…

Awesome to show Abby her first Bottlenose Dolphins at Barmston. They had moved quite a long way offshore when we got there, after feeding close in this morning

LiDAR is the only way flight heights can be measured currently, and not modelled. I will be very interested in the outcome of this study as @APEM_Ltd provide LiDAR as part of their Digital Aerial Survey service.
We're using laser technology to understand #seabird flight heights, wind turbine collision risk and mitigation. Our multi-partner 'ReSCUE' project, funded by @CrownEstate, uses #LiDAR to facilitate nature-friendly expansion of #OffshoreWind. Read more: naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2…

Funny story, I'm laid up on Stronsay, having done my back in catching a one-horned miniature ram as he attacked me, after chasing a crest along a wall, and not noticing the ram was in with some ponies.

Yesterdays biggie from Stronsay. Presumed feral Canada Goose. Looks like canadensis and an incursion into Caithness apparently.
