Our NEW PAPER with @julia_slezacek, @StuBearhop, @XavHarrison and @EcologicalKrc on physiological flexibility of a long distance avian migrant during spring staging is now published in @FrontEcolEvol doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2022.74…
Please see thread for further details. 1/10
The light-bellied #brentgeese have returned to @dublinbiosphere! Five of the birds @StuBearhop and the @UniExeCornwall team marked with @Ornitela GPS tags have collected tracks from the entire migration allowing us to see the impressive journey and where they spent the summer!
Went out rockpooling with @Christophe_Patt over the weekend and found this crazy creature!

Over half our @ornitela GPS tagged #brentgeese have now made it to Iceland! But IHYG is still hanging about in @dublinbiosphere - Looking at its daily movements over winter we see it relying on a variety of inland feeding sites scattered throughout the urban landscape @StuBearhop
While we #StayAtHome the #brentgeese are getting ready for annual spring migration. GPS birds C4YG & LVYG have already taken advantage of a strong southerly, flying over 3000km in 1 day to W. coast Iceland, here they fatten up before heading to breeding grounds in the High Arctic
Sadly I won't be back in Dublin to finish this seasons fieldwork, but a massive thanks to @LornaMGill for recovering a GPS tag that had recently fallen off LBYG. Caught and tagged in Jan we can see this #brentgoose spends most of winter roosting and feeding in @dublinbiosphere

You are all fabulously brilliant. Keep at it!
Love being a goosey double act with @McIntosh_Aimee! So important to have support from other #WomenInSTEM

And just like that brent goose catching for my PhD is finished! All 40 GPS tags deployed at sites across Dublin with help from @StuBearhop and the @UoExeterCEC team! These tags will track habitat use of brent geese throughout winter. Also, lots of new yellow/green rings to read!
Great day working at @MarinoInstitute yesterday! Lots of new colour rings on Brent geese in Dublin. Look out for black white and yellow green combinations. @StuBearhop @pathtrackltd @sharimang
Excited to be back in Dublin for another winter of ring reading and catching ECHA light-bellied brent geese for my PhD!! #fieldwork #brentgeese @StuBearhop
