In our next Digital Twin Showcase blog we discuss how Digital Twin stakeholders can look to develop a set of clear principles, aimed at ensuring Digital Twins maintain a clear purpose, are trustworthy, and function effectively. Read more here: ow.ly/pRJL50NHUxO

Population delineation based on sound knowledge of movements, distribution & numbers involved of where two populations of the same species may occur is important in population monitoring schemes. Two populations of Whooper Swan occur in Europe 2/8

Waxwings are still moving south and west. Check out @EuroBirdPortal for the latest maps. Here 1-7 Oct (left) and 8-14 Oct (right) show how they have moved into southern Sweden eurobirdportal.org/ebp/en/#h…

#LongShot - does anyone have any photos of the #StKilda #Gannet colonies from AUGUST of ANY year? We've collected some photos this month and would be interested to compare with other years as part of out effort to understand the impact of #birdflu. #citsci #NTSSeabirds

A sad day on Friday with the realisation that #avianinfluenza is clearly affecting the #StKilda Puffin population too. Up to 11 dead Pufflings outside burrows around the colony fringes so far. @smp_seabirds @N_T_S @nature_scot @JNCC_UKseabirds

The #shelduck continue to surprise! After 10 days on the Dee, this adult male moved to the Wadden Sea, ignoring east coast moult sites. He's done the reverse of my flight in April, passing lots of offshore wind farms & gas platforms. See all tracks on shelducks.co.uk/gps-tracking… #phd

Buzzing after my flight back from #CWW2022. Followed Shelduck mig route from Wadden Sea -> @WWTMartinMere. Saw moult sites @ both ends & the wind farms that are working hard to offset my carbon miles. Birds eye view will help me interpret my results though! #phdlife @_BTO @SEG_UL

Some excellent and well guided advice from @nature_scot regarding the Avian Flu which is impacting many Scottish islands. If you intend to land on the Shiants please can we ask to take these precautions to ensure we protect the important populations. nature.scot/doc/highly-patho…

Fully support @_BTO call for collaboration and enhanced monitoring of population dynamics, movements and #avianflu effects in #seabirds to address this crisis. We must eke out every insight from the data we have, and plan how to fill significant knowledge gaps. #ornithology

Welcome news that NatureScot has established a task force in response to the impact of avian flu on our #seabirds. The timing of this outbreak could have far reaching effects on our seabird populations & a national co-ordinated response is a much needed step. – at North Berwick, Scotland

NatureScot will lead a new taskforce to co-ordinate a national response to the avian influenza crisis. The group will draw on experience from government, conservation orgs, local authorities & researchers to drive a collective response to the crisis. More: ow.ly/bcJB50JVG1a

Terrible and getting worryingly close to @ShiantIsles – at Scotland, United Kingdom
Bob Swann@SwannBob12 Jul 2022
More worrying Bird Flu news. Till recently it was mainly east coast colonies being affected. There are now signs that it is spreading to west coast colonies. At the weekend 8 ringed adult Guillemots from Canna were picked up dead on Skye and 1 at Arisaig.

More results from geolocators on #FarneIslands #ArcticTerns: doi.org/10.3354/meps14054 Their Indian Ocean traverse gives new insights into #SeabirdMigration ecology, and is a behaviour that may have been maintained since the last ice age. Pdf on email request.

Run rigs and enclosures on Eilean Mhuire, Shiant islands. QGIS and Whitebox ElevPercentile. This colourises cell according to its rank within a radius... here, about 5m. Good for picking out ditches and walls.. a high pass filter.

This is a Common Furrow Bee and it nests on its own in a sunny spot on your lawn, feeding on dandelions. If your garden looks like the example below, you are providing nothing for this Bee and thousands of other species. STOP LAYING ASTROTURF! petition.parliament.uk/petit…

As the photographer behind two of these images, I’d recommend you establish the circumstances before using them as evidence. Both are staged for an editorial story using a captive eagle and a dead lamb. Just so you know. – at Scotland, United Kingdom

@AnousBirding More Blackcap action! We know some of our Blackcaps in the UK move to and from mainland Europe during the year. We've captured an interesting post-breeding migratory movement of one individual tagged @LandguardObs going east through the Netherlands and Germany 🥳

Concern for Guillemots. In the last 2-3 weeks we've had reports of lots of dead Guillemots washing ashore between Aberdeen and Northumberland. What is going on and why? The blog has the story: isleofmaynnr.wordpress.com/

If you come across a smart new website called 'What the Science Says', with the tag-line 'The UK's conservation factchecking resource', please be aware that this is a Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust information/fundraising site, not an independent fact-checking site.
