Nest failure in threatened #shorebirds has many reasons. Replacing eggs of vulnerable clutches with dummy eggs boosts nest survival of #Ruffs in grazed coastal meadows. New paper out 🎉 dx.doi.org/10.1002/ece3... in @ecol-evol.bsky.social #conservation #ornithology
A quiet moment between waves.
For just a second, everything aligns - light, movement, and reflection - before it disappears again.

At #CMSCOP15 3 shorebirds of the Americas Flyways, Hudsonian Whimbrel, Hudsonian Godwit & Lesser Yellowlegs were added to CMS Appendix 1, giving them the strongest protection. Also, the COP recognised the East Asian–Australasian Flyway Partnership Spoon-billed Sandpiper Action Plan. #shorebirds 7/12

Artwork of a flock of small wading birds flying and foraging in an abstract coastal scene created using a macro photograph of an old public bench showing its concrete base and some patches of orange paint. There are 9 birds feeding or standing on the ground and 7 flying. Against the darkest areas of the background the birds are light coloured and vice-versa. The effect is of a wave splashing over the foreground.

For many birdwatchers and nature lovers, the American Avocet is a symbol of hope and renewal. Its graceful presence encourages us to slow down, observe, and appreciate the subtle, interconnected rhythms of life.

A piping plover, moving away from the camera, flops around with its left wing up and its right wing out and touching the beach, pretending to be injured. Photo was taken from a respectful distance with a telephoto lens, and I was not near its nesting area, which happened to be near a path where people walk on the beach.
In the #BirdOfTheDay category of Best Performance by a Shorebird with #WingsOpenNotFlying here’s a piping plover pretending it is injured to lure me away from its chicks in an open nest on the beach. #birds #birdphotography #plovers #shorebirds #BirdOscars #ECK 🪶
