More from Somaliland: Probably first-ever video of Lesser Hoopoe-Lark – frustratingly with microphone switched off!... Luckily, several decent sound recordings separately + photos of different individuals. search.macaulaylibrary.org/catalog?taxo... #birds # ornithology @animecol-uu.bsky.social

I was in Somaliland in late March/early April, primarily to study larks. Here's one of the ones I was extremely happy to see: probably first video and some of first sound recordings of this species: Collared Lark search.macaulaylibrary.org/catalog?taxo...

Lots of fantastic talks and great work by the organisers! I’m particularly proud of my two master students, Julius Falck & Romain Dumont de Chassard, who gave excellent presentations.

I also enjoy photography, videoing and sound recording (e.g., search.macaulaylibrary.org/catalog?user... ; more links to video, including some lectures and "bird walks", from university web page, above).
