Snow is falling down.
May has passed by, becoming June.

How much do you trust AI for bird ID?
I’ve run all three pictures through Merlin. Wilson’s snipe is the top hit. Common snipe comes up too. Merlin doesn’t give a probability for the matches…

It has been an honour to work with the long-term data set from Kent Isl. After a survival paper (doi:10.1098/rspb.2024.2710), here is a mate-switching paper. Huge thanks to @liamtaylor.bsky.social on this one! A third one is under review.
