Illustration of a European Roller bird perched on a branch with pale green leaves. The bird features vibrant turquoise-blue plumage on its head, chest, and tail, with rich brown and deep blue feathers on its wings. The background is plain, highlighting the bird’s detailed coloration and delicate stance. The image, from an 1837 publication, showcases the Roller’s distinctive bright colors and sleek body, associated with beach and coastal habitats in Europe.

BirdDRice: Reconciling agriculture with biodiversity conservation: functional equivalence and connectivity between natural wetlands and rice fields as waterbird habitats

Extremelly happy that our project BirdRice was approved for funding! We will keep studying the relationships between #waterbirds and #ricefields while trying to solve human-wildlife conflicts.

During the last days, 2 of our tagged Glossy ibis left Iberia to Morocco. "Giganta", the 2nd-year bird on the left, returned to Doñana 3 days after departing. "Fugas", the juvenile on the right, seems more confident to stay. No tagged birds in the UK for now!

Cordas sintéticas usadas pelas cegonhas nos ninhos estão a matar as crias Entre 2018 e 2023, as investigadoras captaram imagens de 568 ninhos no Alentejo e Algarve e no último desses anos analisaram semanalmente 93 deles, verificando o estado das crias.

Materiais de origem humana usados em ninhos de cegonhas estão a matar as suas crias: Inês Catry, investigadora de CIÊNCIAS, coordenou um estudo onde foram monitorizadas 32 colónias e 568 ninhos de cegonha-branca no Alentejo e Algarve entre 2018 e 2023.

An excellent PhD thesis. Birds don't understand borders, and the community of storks, ibis, gulls etc in the ricefields of the Tagus/Tajo delta is similar to that of the ricefields in Doñana, with similar conservation issues and agricultural conflicts

Our research on waterbird ecology in the rice fields of the Tagus river basin made the cover of Hydrobiologia.

Glossy ibis are also more into the marshes, but some still visit the surrounding rice fields.
