Congratulations to Dr Aldís Pálsdóttir (Eldís Arna), who successfully defended her PhD this week.
Two of her chapters, about #Iceland 's breeding #waders , are already papers and blogs:

As she walked away from overhead power lines, Eldís Arna found that the number of breeding #waders increased by more than 50% in the next 500 metres.

Latest #wadertales blog on important new paper led by Eldís Arna on the impact of powerlines on numbers of breeding waders in the surrounding landscapes: wadertales.wordpress.com/2022/06/09/pow… Paper in BOU 👩🏻‍🏫👨🏿‍🏫🧕🏽👳🏽‍♂️ 🌈: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ib…

When distributing renewable energy, let's try to avoid breeding habitat that's good for threatened species such as #Redshank & #Curlew . Lessons from Iceland in this new  #WaderTales blog: wadertales.wordpress.com/2022/06/09/pow…

In her presentation at #IWSGconf , Eldís Arna had a wee horizontal slice of the temperature stripes across the top of each PowerPoint slide. Great idea! Lest we forget...

Brilliant talk Eldís Arna implications for breeding waders of fragmentation by human infrastructure in Icelandic landscapes - negative effects of forestry, roads & summer houses for many species #IWSGconf #ornithology Tómas Grétar Gunnarsson José A. Alves Jen Gill (she/her)

Aldis Palsdottir quantifying effects of houses, roads and forests on breeding waders in lowland Iceland. Snipe don't seem to care, all other species do. With a new land-sparing idea. #IWSGconf Eldís Arna

After about 150 km of bird counting transects my shoes have finally given up 😵 totally worth it for a better understanding of how to conserve meadow bird habitat 🐣🐧

During fieldwork one of the species I encounter most often is the common snipe (Gallinago gallinago) but rarely do they strike a pose like this one #fuglatwitter #ornithology #iceland

The reason you bring a clipboard to the field in Iceland is not to write on but to protect yourself from surprising May hailstorms #ornithology #iceland #fuglatwitter

Hvernig í ósköpunum er hægt að komast að því að þetta brot sé brottvísun?? 😳😳😳 #korfubolti

Unfortunately a very necessary sign to have in Iceland this summer

Mans impact on nature is immense with seabirds at the forefront.This is a Guillemot I saved from a certain balloon death #worldseabirdday

The oycs are back in town!
