...plus a lot of these cultured creatures! #IWSG2025
A few #waders seen on Monday's excursion to Schiermonnikoog with @waderstudy.bsky.social #IWSG2025 🇳🇱 🪶
Grateful to have been part of #IWSG2025 ! Inspiring plenaries, great posters and interesting talks 🎤
Looking forward to presenting my PhD work next year in Spain for the 51st conference 🪶

Great day yesterday at Lauwersmeer National Park with the International Wader Study Group @waderstudy.bsky.social
Highlight of the day being the Spotted Redshank Tringa erythropus
#IWSG2025
Briefly introducing the results of our research on the long-term population trend of the Kentish plover in Spain in the International Wader Study Group Conference 2025, Groningen (Netherlands) #IWSG2025.

#iwsg2025 Is over, and I already missed it. Happy that so many people wanted to chitchat with me about my vaporware poster about 3D nest morphology, or about our( @dillensegerg.bsky.social ) project about Andean shorebird breeding timing! See you next year @waderstudy.bsky.social !
Incredible weekend at the International Wader Study Group Confernce in Groningen, Netherlands. 250 delegates from over 40 countries!

Thank you to all the sponsors and supporters of our 50th annual conference! #IWSG2025
THANK YOU to everyone for another brilliant conference #IWSG2025 - and a special thanks to all our speakers and the amazing organising team behind it all!
The diversity in plumage and behaviors of #ruffs is stunning and probably an underused asset for their #conservation @simonvandepitte.bsky.social #IWSG2025 #shorebirds #ornithology
Something to look for in #wader nests. Blue eggs are becoming increasingly common in #ruff clutches @jellybb.bsky.social #IWSG2025 #shorebirds #conservation
Here is José O. Valdebenito ⬇️ giving a great talk on Two-banded Plovers in Chile 🇨🇱 #IWSG2025
He received one of our Conference Grants this year. The Grants help more delegates from low-income countries join us to share their amazing work!
Donations to our fund are always welcome. DM us for details
Interesting talk by @jellybb.bsky.social about the aberrant egg coloration in Ruff clutches. Blue eggs may affect nest survival, but fitness effects may be habitat dependent. @waderstudy.bsky.social IWSG Conference 2025 in Groningen (Netherlands) #IWSG2025 #waders #shorebirds
Good start to the breeding ecology session at the @waderstudy.bsky.social IWSG Conference 2025 in Groningen, Netherlands. @miguelbtg.bsky.social assesses the role of vegetation structure (height and heterogeneity) in nest survival of #shorebirds in grasslands. #IWSG2025 #waders
Another day of great talks coming up at our conference today, including sessions on...
🐣 Breeding ecology
🗺 Conservation
🪺 Behavioural breeding ecology
🧑🧑🧒🧒 Anthropagenic pressures
🏖 Migratory habitat use
👣 Non-breeding habitat use
