🐏 Last week the BTO NI team and staff from the National Trust retrieved cameras monitoring a Cormorant colony on Sheep Island

📸 This footage will be vital for understanding coastal-breeding Cormorants, which lack consistent productivity data in Northern Ireland

Heavier great tit nestlings 🐥 usually end up as heavier adults 🐦. Is this always a strong correlation?

Our new preprint shows that the strength of this 'silver-spoon' association shifts continuously with environmental context, and is stronger in harsh conditions!

1/ For #WorldAutismAwarenessDay we asked some of the members of the BTO team who are on the Autism spectrum to share their experiences of working for the organisation.

At BTO we’re committed to becoming more inclusive, find out more about this work at www.bto.org/inclusivity
A Great Tit perches on a rock. A quote from a BTO staff member features alongside and reads: “I will forever be grateful to BTO for giving me a place I can belong. For me, BTO stands for finding Belonging Through Ornithology.” BTO logo is top right of the image.
