BBC Countryfile on Instagram: "Incredible cannon netting! 🐦🐦💥 When studying wading birds, the team from British Trust for Ornithology use a specialist (and highly regulated) technique called ‘cannon netting’ in order to harmlessly collect data that’s crucial to monitoring oyster catchers. Whilst it looks a bit dramatic it’s actually a safe way to temporarily capture these birds with a specially designed net. The birds are then ringed and data is collected. All the birds were released unharmed

Sightings of winter thrushes, Redwing and Fieldfare, increase in October as birds arrive in the UK from their breeding grounds in Northern Europe. 🐦 Numbers of these species sighted every autumn and winter varies, as their presence is influenced by berry crop success in their breeding grounds. So if the Nordic berry crop is poor, we’ll see a larger number of these birds in the UK. Be sure to check berry-laden bushes and trees, such as Rowan and Hawthorn, this autumn! 🍂 Record your sightings of

Sound on 🔊 Over the last few months our team released 56 headstarted Curlew in Norfolk! 🙌 The birds are already visiting the coastlines and moving around nicely. Headstarting is when eggs are collected under licence from nests on RAF airbases scheduled for destruction. They're hatched, chicks are reared and then released to boost the local breeding population whilst landscape conservation is put in place. This work is part of the Curlew Recovery Project, funded by Natural England, to help this

The booming of Bitterns is one of the lowest frequency bird calls in the UK while the Goldcrest has the highest frequency call. As we age we start to lose these frequencies and may no longer be able to hear singing Goldcrests and booming Bitterns. #Autumnwatch BBC Springwatch | BTO British Trust for Ornithology

Important update! 🎉 We've satellite-tagged six Cuckoos this year in Scotland and England. Follow their migrations and sponsor a bird ➡️ https://www.bto.org/cuckoos 📉 The UK Cuckoo population has declined by over a third since the mid-1990s. But that’s not the whole story – while in England, Wales and Northern Ireland numbers continue to fall, they’re increasing in Scotland. By using satellite tracking technology, BTO researchers are gaining a greater understanding of the pressures Cuckoos face

Birds need to keep their feathers in top condition. One of the ways they do this is to “ant”. They actively pick up ants and rub them on their feathers; the chemical excretion from the ants is thought to help get rid of parasites. #Springwatch BBC Springwatch video: Paul Stancliffe | BTO British Trust for Ornithology
