- Port Meadow (from Wolvercote) at its best this morning.

- Mmm, good question. I think that mine is the view of Port Meadow from the top of Botley Hill (point between Singing way and Marley) at sunrise. When is foggy the view is stunning. I also like a lot the view of the city from the top of South Park.

- The perks of ringing in Wytham!
- Opi - Omi down under version.
- 😮
- Goldcrests might be tiny, but they can certainly travel a long way. A male Goldcrest ringed in Lincolnshire was caught alive 1,665 km away in northern Sweden 11 months later! #Winterwatch
- I may be a bit early
- I guess that one could infer the phenology of Wytham great tits by my activity in Strava :-)
- Recycling this little map I made with my rounds in the Woods this Spring
- Wytham gives, david takes.
- The end product after playing to be a dentist this morning 🦡🦡🦡
- Not a good year for badgers, I guess.

- Correct!!! :-) :-)
- Nice way to split the week :-)
- This is really cool!
- 1/13 New paper out! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Historical records across thousands of women showed that mothers with more children had shorter lifespans during a famine, fitting an evolutionary explanation for why we age @hannahdugdale.bsky.social @lummaalab.bsky.social @erikpostma.bsky.social

- They knew how to put a good title in the old days...
- Remember that time is relative so old may not be that old for you :-)
- Amazing autumn day at the woods helping with some teaching. I missed the ring ouzel that surprised some (well just one) of us, but the colour of the trees was amazing!
- I needed to go through some pictures from the fieldwork I did in Corsica, and in addition to the amazing landscapes

- I think they are rats, the tail is quite rattish, but I may be wrong. I remember the hole of the box being nibbled and enlarged. They were quite big. I am still amazed that they fitted inside and how reluctant they were to leave the nest.
- I also found some pictures of not that common nest box dwellers
- Morning ringing in the woods which are turning into autumn colours!
- Matching habitat choice?

- I loved it!! Fun, nice pictures/videos and some peculiar people :-)
- Nice morning ringing at Wytham woods
- I found this mallard today. It seems like some kind of hybrid—if it is, is it possible to identify the species? Or is it just a chromatic aberration?
- Si necesitáis una lectura amena y entretenida sobre coloración y aves, he escrito una pequeña pieza para el blog de la AEET. Pido disculpas de antemano por el autobombo :-) blogaeet.org/2025/09/22/l...
- Muchas gracias a @bioeaf.bsky.social y a @pulgar-panda.bsky.social por la ayuda y a la @eco-aeet.bsky.social por el blog :-)
- Enjoying this more than expected. Time to do a big year? youtu.be/zl-wAqplQAo?...
- Nice morning at @rspbotmoor.bsky.social
- A blue tit was seen.
- Counting the days until the next one!
- What a nice end for a really nice conference. Lovely time in Olomouc meeting old friends and making new. Really amazing conference @hnbirds2025.bsky.social
- After a wonderful week in Sevilla attending the Spanish Society for Ethology and Evolutionary Ecology, now it time for the @hnbirds2025.bsky.social conference, after a birding trip through Central Europe. :-)
- Alguien me podría ayudar a identificar este pequeño animal multicolor que me he encontrado en el sur de España?

- Genial Carlos, muchas gracias por la rápida respuesta. Definitivamente voy a tener que indagar más sobre ese grupo porque son acojonantes! :-)

- Is that because spotting the tit boxes at Mount Ventoux count as fieldwork? :-)
- and about the Ventoux stage in ToF, it seems!
