The thread that celebrates some of the highlights from the first ten years of #WaderTales will be continued on Bluesky. You should be able to get access without setting up an account but why not give Bluesky a try? LINK: bsky.app/profile/wadert… #ornithology #waders #shorebirds

In September, the beaches of our estuaries are littered with millions of feathers, discarded by moulting waders. In 2017, the focus was on Grey Plover but the principles are applicable to other species, such as Curlew ⬇️ wadertales.wordpress.com/2017/09/18/the… #ornithology

The demise of slender-billed #curlews could well have been pushed by the disappearance of the enormous Dutch #estuary of #Zuiderzee in 1932. Zuiderzee had the same brackish gradients as Merja Zerga. Read this unacknowledged publication, based on oral accounts, in @IBIS_journal.

#Waders can live very long lives. A @WashWader Oystercatcher holds the wader record for the BTO ringinging scheme. wadertales.wordpress.com/2018/01/16/wad… This blog is updated annually, when the @_BTO ringing report is published. #ornithology #shorebirds

The WaderTales anniversary thread (to celebrate the first ten years) is expanding on Bluesky. Today, it features #Curlew, particularly a 2019 blog about the Irish Curlew crisis: bsky.app/profile/wadert… #ornithology #waders #shorebirds

1/4 A recent paper by Rob McHenry at al did not find evidence of wader eggs/chicks in samples of scats of Red Fox and Pine Marten that live in forest patches within a peatland mosaic (Forsinard, Scotland): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec… BUT ... see thread! #waders #shorebirds
