Superb inaugural lecture from friend & past @salforduni.bsky.social colleague Prof Arijit Mukhopadhyay: Rear-View Mirror on My Successful Failures. I especially liked the advice "you can nurture self esteem but the seed needs external stimulation" aka let your friends be your research cheerleaders 🙌

I love how our 2yr old doesn't just point at birds and say "birds". He's getting good ID'ing local stuff. He enjoyed wigeon & gadwall (video) on the canal last night. He also (a bit too keenly!) corrected a lady who said "look at the pretty moorhen" - it was a coot 😅 @zachinch92.bsky.social #birding

RIP Dame Jane Goodall DBE. One of the absolute greats in Zoology, who taught us so much & inspired beyond words. I feel privileged to have met you & thank you for all you have done for conservation, understanding and protecting our wildlife. #janegoodall

When @ljmuofficial.bsky.social's official photographer snaps you in action at the @britsciassoc.bsky.social British Science Festival!

Should I stay or should I go?🐦 Fancy a #PhD studying Pied flycatchers in the Peak District to help better understand what drives individual & population performance? Think #habitat #movement #ecology #genetics 🌍 Make use of this nestbox PIT tag study system and join us! Email me #LJMU #NationalTrust

Another year, another #freshers week & getting to know a new bunch of great @ljmuofficial.bsky.social Wildlife Conservation students! Our "draw your lecturer" activity has become a big highlight... my colleague Rob doesn't have an official staff photo but now he has many options! 😅 #ljmu #university

When the toddler falls asleep during #parkrun #PenningtonFlash so you have the rare opportunity to do some birding post-run! Great views of a couple of black terns. Nice chance to recover... #31weeks #pregnancy 🏃♀️

Great to be part of the British Science Festival today that has taken over Liverpool city centre this week - talking all things #ornithology & showing the public many ways we can monitor #birds for #conservation & research at @ljmuofficial.bsky.social (also a chance to big up @bou.org.uk)

Great to have a 2nd @routledgebooks.bsky.social book chapter under my belt (prev freshwater birds, now wetland birds, yet I study passerines 😅) & absolute privilege to write with Dr Ann Hodgson. Definitely feel like I have a place in #ornithology after this year! @ljmuofficial.bsky.social #impact 🌍

It's the final day of the @eounion.bsky.social conference at @bangoruniversity.bsky.social & Dr Rose Thorogood @helsinkiupress.bsky.social gives great examples of how personal/social cues + signals help us understand and predict bird decision making.

Fantastic excursion to @rspb.bsky.social South Stack to break up the week-long @eounion.bsky.social conference at @bangoruniversity.bsky.social. Diving gannets, good numbers of kittiwakes, chorus of chough & raven, peregrines soaring & stonechat for company along the trails. Sunny weather, a bonus!

Poster 52 @eounion.bsky.social conference: long-term insights into climate change effects on bird phenology at @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social. Controversially we find birds are arriving later in warmer seasons, not earlier! Why could that be? Let's chat! Poster session 5-7pm today. #EOU2025 #ornithology
