Couldn't believe my eyes when reviewing @LeicsPeregrines video from 9th December @LeicsCathedral
Juvenile XRF, still in the area, brings in fresh Little Auk prey! An amazing record for an inland site. The first in L&R since 2007.

New article on #plastics in #faeces samples of shag chicks. 25 out of 36 samples contained microplastics > 100 µm; we found 17 particles per g dry mass and clear evidence for parental transfer of plastics

Sedge Warbler we ringed at Belvide Reservoir #Staffs on 14 August 2024 was found predated in Eleanora's Falcon nest in Canary Islands on 20 September, 2759km away & 37 days later. The Falcons delay breeding to coincide with autumn migration of passerines @_BTO @WestMidBirdClub
