The @ospreylf aims to encourage young conservationists to recognise that they are already a leader. Is it time to tap into your potential? Read the article here: c-js.uk/4hsTkWp

For the October 2024 World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) and Global Birding & eBird Big Day the KBO team visited the area south of Kafuta, 35km inland from our base on the coast. Over 40 species of bird were recorded, including Yellow-bellied Hyliota.

Earlier this summer, @35_jatta ringed this Osprey, 3R0, at a nest near Rutland Water as part of his @ospreylf & @kartongbirdobs internship. It went on to fledge successfully and today I may have seen it depart on migration. Let’s hope Emmanuel sees it again in The Gambia!

Please read this hugely important and courageous blog by @aliciahaydenart. We were thrilled that Alicia was a key part of the Young Conservationists’ Hub that we organised at @GlobalBirdfair - she is an inspiration.

Birds saved my life. There’s nothing unusual about that.
What’s more unusual about my situation, is that it was birding that caused my life to need saving in the first place.
A true story, my story. Read it here: linktr.ee/ahwildlife

It’s been wonderful having @35_jatta in the UK since late March for his @kartongbirdobs & @ospreylf internship. Huge thanks to @harbourbirds for a fitting send off for Emmanuel - a brilliant boat trip and a final chance to ring some migrant species he may see again in The Gambia

Also fantastic to host our Gambian friend @35_jatta from the @ospreylf & @kartongbirdobs , joining us to see Ospreys during the European part of their lives as well as visiting the @CareysSecret Ringing Station to ring a few African migrants including this Tree Pipit.

The Women Working in Conservation panel was an especially powerful event - courageous and authentic female voices worthy of a headline spot on the Osprey stage (and many other places!) in my view! Hope to meet you all again.

Of course the first two Osprey chicks chose to fledge when I was away @GlobalBirdfair! 😅 still pinching ourselves that they've produced this phenomenonal brood of four, who will be so important to the future of Ospreys in Southern England and beyond! @harbourbirds
15 Jul 2024
We have lift off! At 10:08am on Sunday the first chick, 5R0 took flight and fledged, settling on a nearby tree. Then, just over an hour later, 5R2 did the same, making it as far as the nest camera perch!

My first @GlobalBirdfair since it’s post-covid relaunch, but the birdfair blues feel just the same; the weird quiet that comes after a great weekend of catching up, meetings, panel chairing and best of all, chaotic dancing.

Huge thank you @ospreylf for hosting this brilliant panel @GlobalBirdfair and to @PeteMRCooper for chairing the discussion so expertly! It's such a privilege to share the floor with so many inspiring young conservationists who are leading the way! @harbourbirds

Props to my fantastic panel of young (yes we’re under the UN definition of young) reintroduction conservationists; @BrittanyMaxted @zoologist_kat Charly Mead and @harvey_tweats. You gave an excellent, meaty discussion which I know from people who attended has genuinely inspired.
