Something I am very proud of - my new book Bird Pellets is out now! It showcases pellets from eagles to robins and how to identify their contents in detail, especially mammal skulls. Written in an accessible way so it works for schools, families and researchers alike!

Couldn't believe my eyes when reviewing @LeicsPeregrines video from 9th December @LeicsCathedral
Juvenile XRF, still in the area, brings in fresh Little Auk prey! An amazing record for an inland site. The first in L&R since 2007.

New article on #plastics in #faeces samples of shag chicks. 25 out of 36 samples contained microplastics > 100 µm; we found 17 particles per g dry mass and clear evidence for parental transfer of plastics

Sedge Warbler we ringed at Belvide Reservoir #Staffs on 14 August 2024 was found predated in Eleanora's Falcon nest in Canary Islands on 20 September, 2759km away & 37 days later. The Falcons delay breeding to coincide with autumn migration of passerines @_BTO @WestMidBirdClub
