A shocking example of shifting baselines in this month’s @britishbirds Up to 800,000 Bullfinches were trapped and shot EVERY YEAR in the 1950s, 60s and 70s to reduce damage to orchards. Now we are down to 265,000 breeding pairs. A fascinating paper by Ian Newton.

It was a real privilege to get the platform I did on the Tommy Tiernan Show and to be able to bring Irish Wildlife Sounds to such a wide audience. It's been life-changing. It's just so uplifting to see the thirst people have for nature.

“This bird is singing its life story, where it’s been, stamps on a passport” Sean Roynane share his passion for birdsong with @Tommedian 😍😍 #TommyTiernanShow

#BirdFlu update ⬇️ We detected HPAI H5N1 among brown skuas on South Georgia in October 2023, and later kelp gulls in November. Unfortunately recent testing by a vet from @APHAgovuk has now found positive cases in elephant seals and fur seals. More here: bas.ac.uk/media-post/avi…

APHA scientists testing for #BirdFlu on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia have detected the virus in fur and elephant seals for the first time in the region. Results will be shared with partners to help tackle the disease globally. Read more: gov.uk/government/new…

This newly fledged house martin entered a swift box by mistake at 9.04pm yesterday. It is still being brooded by the swifts (with their 2 chicks) as I write. It's shown no sign of wanting to leave. jonathanpomroy.co.uk

High-pathogenicity avian influenza (#HPAI) is seemingly taking hold in some E coast UK seabird colonies again this breeding season. 27 dead/dying birds of 4 spp along a 1.5km section of the Buchan Ness to Collieston Coast SPA 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 last Friday. (1/4) #BirdFlu #AvianFlu

This is absolutely bananas. There is NOTHING like this on the instrumental record. Its likely impact is probably immeasurable. But is it leading our news bulletins & on newspaper front pages? Nope.

Aerial surveys around Ireland’s 2 largest gannet colonies provide estimate of HPAI mortality. The arrival of HPAI at the end of the breeding season may have limited its impact on populations, but updated census a priority. #ObSERVE @OriolGP4 @uccBEES royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

More dead gannets washing up on beaches due to avian influenza outbreak. Best advice if you see a sick or distressed seabird is to keep your distance and notify Irish Department of Agriculture, Food & the Marine.
