Meet Matteo!

Our new @sfb1372.bsky.social songbird orientation fellow

With a background in waterbirds, he is excited to dive deeper into migration research

Originally from 🇮🇹, he is strongly motivated to contribute to various research activities & firmly believes that lunch should never be rushed

We have a new group logo - honouring one of our key study species, the northern wheatear 😍

And of cause, this bird is also tagged with a transmitter - but the tracking devices we use for our studies are so tiny, that you can´t see them on the bird 😉

🚨We're seeking information on Globally Threatened Birds!🚨

We collate up-to-date information used to evaluate the classification of each bird species on the IUCN Red List.🦜

Our team have opened discussions for 90 species until 25 January.🗺️
