Nice one @pauldufour80.bsky.social and all! Great to see this is out, very cool to see these multi-sensory devices being used in such a quantitative and precise way 🦅
Paul Dufour🐦🌙 Happy to see this big collaborative paper out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We address a seemingly simple question using geolocator data collected across many species and individuals: how much of bird migration actually happens at night? www.cell.com/current-biol... A short🧵
Great to see this one published! Worth a read if you’re into the role of collective behaviour in migration 🦅🌍 Very pleased how it came out, glad to be a (very) small part of it.
Joe MorfordThe WISDOM OF CROWDS emerges in flocks of thousands of migrating songbirds! Excited to share our work published by @aaas.org in Science Advances! doi.org/10.1126/scia...
Very pleased with how this is coming together! Think it'll be a really fun conference, with a lovely mix of old and new faces. ☺️
liedvogel lab@joewynnbirds.bsky.social did an excellent job on keeping all ducks in a row for the programme juggling and will surely live up to full potential in the legendary pub quiz and other evening highlights - stay tuned!
Such a cool bird to be included in our chiffchaff genomics project ☺️ very exciting!
Alice EdneySuper excited to have caught a Belgian ringed chiffchaff in Chesire this morning!! 🇧🇪 🗺 Looking forward to learning more about where & when it was ringed 📍 @btobirds.bsky.social #birdringing
One week left on this! Good opportunity for someone interested in #behaviour, #genomics and #migration to come work will some fun seabirds and some fun people 🧬🐣🛰️ www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Then come to our Q&A session at on 29/09 and check out the ad below!
Excited to be helping with this! Always love working with ringing data, and great to do so working on such an interesting question ☺️
Paul Dufour🚨 Master’s project! Curious how birds find their way? 🧭🐦 Analyze decades of ringing data to study abnormal migratory routes and uncover what these deviations can reveal about the mechanisms guiding birds on their journeys. Drop me an email for details! #ornithology www.vogelwarte.ch/de/wir/mitar...
Been great fun visiting @flamboroughbird.bsky.social last week, and am super excited to be back in a few days! Awesome start to the project with 4 birds sampled in the last 4 days, we're hoping to use #genomic data derived from feather samples to see where these enigmatic birds come from ☺️
Flamborough Bird ObservatoryWe’ve been delighted to host @joewynnbirds.bsky.social this week at FBO as part of the Trans-Siberian genoscape project tracing geographic origins of vagrant birds with 3 Yellow-browed Warbler sampled.
Glad to see this one out! The product of some thought-provoking discussions with lots of cool people 🗺️ might be worth a read for those interested in #navigation or #migration 🦅 🐝 🐟 🐁
Patrick LewinEver wondered how animals know where they are? Or how they find where they need to be? The answer is that they have maps and compasses built into their heads! Excited to see this new review of map-and-compass navigation led by Joe Morford out in Animal Behaviour @asab.org doi.org/10.1016/j.an...
Insanely cool part of the world, very lucky to be working on these birds. Though can't say I'll miss the mosquitoes (or the sweet Gudbrandsdalen cheese, if I'm honest...). Excited to see what we learn when we sequence these guys (and their European-wintering cousins)! ☺️ #ornithology
Paul DufourGreat progress on the sib genoscape project with freshly collected reference samples of Little Buntings (and Red-flanked Bluetails) from the western part of their range. A very nice and successful fieldwork with @joewynnbirds.bsky.social ! #ornithology
Now 11 birds recaught 😎 new pressure loggers giving insights into migration I never thought possible, absolutely incredible technology. Wouldn’t be possible without the help of friends here in Georgia, Levan, Sopo, Vano and Natia 🇬🇪 ☺️
liedvogel labmeanwhile in #Georgia - where and how long do #blackcaps breeding in this eastern #location migrate? @joewynnbirds.bsky.social @andalgalornis.bsky.social and @oscarvedder.bsky.social are on a mission & have already caught 9 returning #geolocator birds. stay tuned! @ifv-whv.bsky.social
Very pleased to see this fella out at last☺️ a privilege to work with such lovely data and people, perhaps worth a read for those interested in #selection, #navigation and #telemetry! certainly some unexpected results from my perspective 👀
Common Tern ProjectA lovely collaboration with the wonderful @joewynnbirds.bsky.social, Nathalie Kürten and @mmoiron.bsky.social, and kindly funded by the @ifv-whv.bsky.social, @dornitholges.bsky.social, @umweltstiftung.bsky.social, @humboldt-foundation.de and @dfg.de via @sfb1372.bsky.social.
Very excited to collaborate working with these samples! Well in @pauldufour80.bsky.social on what sounded like some epic and eventful fieldwork 😮
Paul DufourWe have just returned from La Janda, S Spain, where we sampled some of the wintering Siberian buntings (1 Rustic, 5 Little Buntings) to uncover their birth/breeding origins. Huge thanks to the Cigüeña Negra ringing group for the warm welcome! @pdvsky.bsky.social #ornithology
