Hi all,
I'm Tony, coming from the western coast of France. I am a researcher in ecology and a birder as a hobby. Actually, I also study birds in my research as well as avian malaria and interspecific competition. Lately, I worked with european raptors in Germany as well as black-legged kittiwakes in Alaska.
A health problem since graduating my PhD kept me afar from research and birding, so in the meantime I am developping an interactive website about the phenology of rare western palearctic birds from rarity reports, where you can find (incomplete) data on rare bird sightings, location, stay duration and species to look for the current month. I am posting the link here for people interested (Phenology of Rare Western Palearctic Bird Sightings).
Another pastime of mine is to host the #BirdsSeenIn2024 challenge on twitter (X). People from all countries can share a picture taken this year of a bird species to add it to his/her country's tally. We have so far more than 4000 species recorded in 2024 alone (the challenge as been running since 2021). Again, anyone can join and share a picture of bird species, adding the country and the hashtag #BirdsSeenIn2024 in the tweet (so I can see it and enter it in the dataset). See here for more info: x.com
Anyway, happy to join this wonderful birding community, to learn many and share some.
Cheers,
Tony
