Working with The Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence, our KBO Team have been supporting students from the University of The Gambia. The Experimental Bioacoustics & Communication Exchange Workshop is now in its second year and continues to be very successful.

Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.
Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.
Leave him to me.

An exciting Palearctic record of a Whimbrel ringed at KBO.
White-JT was ringed at Kartong on 19/2/26. 73 days later, it was found by James Mcgrath, 2,730 miles north at Pilmore Strand, Youghal, County Cork, Ireland. This is our second record to Ireland.

More details have emerged of Nigel Farage's visit to Ipswich Town.
๐An associate of CEO Mark Ashton sent an invite to Nigel Farage
๐Farage was met by Marcus Nash, director of media and communications
๐Ashton and COO Luke Werhun had lunch with Farage
๐The club gifted Farage SIX 'Farage 10' shirts
๐ Employees outside a select few were unaware of the stunt
๐Members of staff have made complaints
This is despite the club claiming they were 'apolitical' in a statement made on Wednesday.

I am glad Farage came clean on his intentions: xitter.cf/neilrobertscdf/status/โฆ He wants to destroy the languages, cultures & histories of Wales, Ireland & Scotland. He wants a greater fascist England. Every Celt must unite & defeat his plan to destroy our nations.

If we're going to have a debate about Churchill, I trust this will include his racism, his use of the Black & Tans in Ireland and Palestine, sending the army in to break a miners' strike in Wales and a gunboat up the Mersey to intimidate striking dockworkers? Oh and Gallipoli?

Caught and ringed on 7th March 2025 this bird was tentatively identified by our team as Common Cuckoo, Cuculus canorus. Following recently received DNA test results this has now been confirmed making it the first modern record for The Gambia. โ at Gambia
