Abstract
In April 2011, the British Ornithologist’s Union’s annual conference took place at the University of Leicester. The theme of this year’s conference was the ecology and conservation of migratory birds, and talks ranged from those focussed on either breeding, migration or wintering ecology, to those linking two or more of these and trying to build a more complete picture of the complex problems faced by long distance migrants. Talks also covered recent technological advances, which are increasingly allowing us intriguing new insights, particularly into the seasonal movements and wintering areas of some of the most declining species. Finally, talks examined the policy challenges associated with protecting migratory species and how best to tackle flyway-scale conservation of migratory birds.
