This Cuckoo nestling, ringed in a Meadow Pipit nest last summer by Ellie Ness of our #BTO nest recording group in the New Forest was recaptured just 33 days later on the German island of Helgoland. Only the 5th British ringed Cuckoo to be found in Germany.

Just over 40 people came to our @MoorMeadows training day today at Holne, Dartmoor. After an indoor session, we put the theory into practice, finding 13 nests at Brook Manor-a great result and the most nests yet this season! Thank you everyone who came/helped organise everything!

Fantastic to see another potentially wintering Devon #curlew! 1of our #DCWRG tagged #curlew is also a #SAVcurlew breeder. Collaboration between wintering and breeding projects joins up our understanding of the threats birds face across their annual cycle @DevonBirds #ornithology

The first of our tagged Curlews has left the Severn & Avon Vales (in Worcestershire). Yellow AY migrated down the Severn out over the Bristol Channel and is now in Devon #Migration #SAVCurlew @DevonBirds @WorcsBirding @Worcs_bird

Great fun helping with the @EcoSoc_Penryn ringing demo this morning 🐦💚 Always a joy to talk people about the @_BTO ringing scheme and the wealth of data it provides, plus share the excitement of seeing our amazing birds so close! @BTO_Cornwall #CitizenScience #BTOYouth

Major overhaul of the #birdringing within-group movements app (tinyurl.com/7hhdm433), which uses your @BTO DemON data & searches for movements between your own sites, otherwise easily missed. The app now gives you more information, and has more options to explore your data.

We’ve got a survey coming up on Sunday 5th December near Buckfastleigh, details below. If you fancy coming, please let us know: last time we found over 25 nests on just one field, so fingers crossed for lots this year too! #HMNestFest

This is heartbreaking. It's really important to turn off lights during migration!

My @_BTO ringing totals app (tinyurl.com/npks6e3n) is now updated to include the recently released 2020 totals. Kent has overtaken Norfolk & Suffolk, & whilst Covid hit overall ringing totals a bit (c.-10%) it particularly hit earlier nesting species like Dipper and Raven.

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?
