On #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, let’s make our urban spaces and communities bird-friendly.
As cities grow and natural habitats shrink, migratory birds are losing places they need to rest and feed.
Together we can create safe #SharedSpaces and help protect migratory birds: www.worldmigratorybirdday.org

Today IUCN has officially declared the Slender-billed Curlew extinct, marking the first known global extinction of a formerly widespread migratory bird species whose range included mainland Europe, North Africa, and West Asia.

Shout out to Swifts this #WorldMigratoryBirdDay!
These aerial acrobats have left our skies for winter, but fewer Swifts are returning to Scotland in spring each year.

Every year, migratory birds take on seriously epic journeys.
From our UK coasts and wetlands, to the forests of West Africa, we’re working to protect and restore the habitats they rely on along their routes.

Thank you @ingerandersen.bsky.social @unep.org for supporting #WorldMigratoryBirdDay and for helping to raise awareness of the importance of countries to work together to conserve migratory birds!
As urban areas expand, natural habitats shrink—putting migratory birds at risk. For #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, UNEP Executive Director
@ingerandersen.bsky.social emphasizes the need for #SafeSpaces to protect these birds, which are essential to sustaining the planet’s biodiversity.

I've been asked for the layperson's summary of this paper, so here it goes:
Because distinct groups of #seabirds across large regions like the North Atlantic grow and shrink together, conservationists in different countries also need to work together.
Because distinct groups of #seabirds across large regions like the North Atlantic grow and shrink together, conservationists in different countries also need to work together.
In "Consequences of cross-season demographic correlations for population viability," the authors establish positive correlations between population growth rates for three distinct groups of Atlantic puffins.

Present in almost all the world’s ecosystems, insects are essential food sources for migratory birds on their long journeys. Migratory birds often time their migrations to align with insect abundance.
