1/ 🧵 How to protect declining forest birds? Studies from near-pristine habitats can help us answer this question.

My keynote talk #BOUatEOU presents findings from our long-term bird studies in the primeval Białowieża Forest (BF) 🇵🇱

Check out my BlueSky talk at #BOUatEOU on rewilding
Excited to share my research at #BOUatEOU on breeding failure of tawny owls (Strix aluco) in commercial plantations 🦉🌲
How do owls deal with changing food availability and the return of a new nest predator?

I've made it to #EOU2025 in Bangor, and I'm starting with the #BOUatEOU symposium on #WoodlandBirds. Lovely talk by Ken Smith, who's been studying the nesting habits of #LesserSpottedWoodpeckers in the UK over decades. #CitizenScience @lesserspotnet.bsky.social @bou.org.uk @eounion.bsky.social

1/ Developing conservation policies for declining migrant species amid 🌍 change is challenging.

I’m at #BOUatEOU presenting my findings on factors influencing breeding success for the conservation of Pied flycatchers in the Peak District 🐦

Check out my bluesky talk for #BOUatEOU.

We found that diversionary feeding is a suitable impact based tool to reduce conflicts between recovering predators (pine marten) and endangered ground nesting birds (cappercaillie) in Scottish Forests.

My first international conference research talk in 10 years - scary! It's hard starting up a study system from scratch with no research group but with strong collaborations, hard work & great study species - there is progress. It was great to share today with @bou.org.uk folk #BOUatEOU #ornithology

Today's @bou.org.uk woodland birds symposium was the perfect warm up for the @eounion.bsky.social conference here at @bangoruniversity.bsky.social. I especially enjoyed Gilberto Pasinelli's keynote looking at how seed masts, rodents + predators influence wood warbler fecundity & survival. #BOUatEOU

A common theme at the @bou.org.uk Woodland Birds symposium #BOUatEOU is we all work with birds in decline, which can be depressing! But @lesserspotnet.bsky.social boosted morale with great news that lesser spotted woodpeckers are doubling their brood sizes 🎉 A gold standard citizen science project 👊

Ken & Linda Smith will be at the BOU Woodland Birds Conference on 18 August 2025 at Bangor. Ken is giving a talk ‘Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers: how citizen science is contributing to our understanding of this enigmatic species’ Looking forward to seeing some of you there bou.org.uk/conferences-...
