NEW PAPER: Badgers, weather, and waders: badger predation on lapwing nests rise in cold conditions (below 4°C) and with high earthworm availability. Cold years see heavy losses, suggesting weather forecasts could guide management to protect waders

#iwsg2025 Is over, and I already missed it. Happy that so many people wanted to chitchat with me about my vaporware poster about 3D nest morphology, or about our( @dillensegerg.bsky.social ) project about Andean shorebird breeding timing! See you next year @waderstudy.bsky.social !
