Conservationist, writer, naturalist, resting composer. Next book 'Windhover' out 2026.
Very sorry to hear of the loss of a former colleague on the international conservation stage. Gerard was invaluable in injecting expertise, wisdom and humour into many a meeting around Europe.
It is so sad that we lost a major player in our field, actively interested involved until his last days, Gerard Boere.
Many thanks, Gerard, for so many years of great support to migratory waterbirds around the world and to people who care. RIP.

#birdoftheday Canary Island Kestrel. A distinctive race of Common Kestrel. Seems very common here on Gran Canaria. In my experience they hardly ever hover. The ones here at the Jardín Botánico Viera y Clavijo were feeding on insects.
