We rigged up the test #MotusWTS #sensrognome receiver today and yesterday to look at range and see where we should put the real thing at Stala and Kartong Bird Observatory. Did some walk tests with the tag - channelling my inner nightingale!

More great ringing and motusing in Kartong. Super sunrise and beautiful scenes.

Also lucky enough to get stunning views from the plane over the Atlas mountains and Sahara.

Doing some cool but challenging sciencing in the Gambia 🐦📡
Testing out the detection range for a #MotusWTS installation 🤞
So many cool species seen as well, lots of ideas for projects! @ecobird.bsky.social @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social

Adventure time! Off to Kartong Bird Observatory in the Gambia to test out #MotusWTS using a mobile #Sensorgnome and @lotektelemetry.bsky.social Nanotag!
Me and my load of tech and trusty duct tape will be repping @ecobird.bsky.social funded by @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social.

We had 4 talks, and two posters so great representation of @ecobird.bsky.social from Ghent University.

Successful @ecobird.bsky.social #EOU2025 trip. Great presentations by @cesarepacioni.bsky.social, Jolien Van Malderen, Caoimhe Abdul-Wahab, Mélibée Morel and me! Well done team 👏 Loads of fun, and surprisingly good Welsh weather 😇

One of my faves!! We got these trapping at a local nature reserve the other night: Gorgeous pebble hook tip and eyed hawkmoth!

Very excited to finally say it's online!! New paper in @society4conbio.bsky.social Conservation Biology on how we can use #MotusWTS automated VHF across Europe to understand more about flyways and our declining migratory species.
We hope this will push more collaboration across the continent!

In wonderful Liverpool for @britishecolsoc.bsky.social annual meeting, with some stuff from my PhD that hasn't been published yet!
Come and see me to find out about nightjar lunar ecology using hidden markov models, and glmms! Poster session 1 TONIGHT @ 18:00!
