Postdoc with @niozsearesearch.bsky.social investigating all things red knot and their food. https://freddiemckendrickecology.carrd.co/https://bsky.app/profile/freddiemckendrick.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/freddiemckendrick.bsky.social/post/3mlpogfzp7c24Amazing photos by @northronbirdobs.bsky.social of one of our tracked knots, Arenicola with Tellina also skulking around on the island somewhere.

Nephtys (dark blue off Cuxhaven) continued its journey North last night and is now up with it's compatriots on the German/Danish Wadden Sea border! Who will make the first leap and head to the breeding grounds?
