Thankfully, the weather has improved, allowing us to carry out ornithological work as part of the Calf of Man Bird Observatory - bird ringing, nest checks and sighting records. We have had lots of migrants passing through and have been checking on our local breeding populations. Mike and I have carried on with various estate jobs, as well as starting some new projects! All of which, have been very satisfying. Spring is officially here.

why the f are you stressing those birds

@awildguide 16 күн бұрын

We are a bird observatory and all hold handling licenses. The data we collect contributes to a world wide collection that helps monitor populations, demographics, movements and shifts in migrations etc. to show patterns and trends. This is valuable information given the current environmental crises. We try and reduce stress and disturbance as much as possible and as I said in the video, it is all over very quickly.
