Migrant Landbird Study Group

Promoting collaborative research for migratory landbirds across flyways

Carles manages the RSPB International Migrants Programme, made of the ‘Birds without Borders’ programme, focusing on 11 UK-breeding priority landbird species, and the East Atlantic Flyway Initiative of BirdLife International. His work seeks to bring together targeted research, capacity building, policy, and conservation on-the-ground to address the threats to migratory birds and revert population declines. He is an experienced conservationist, having previously worked on seabird mortality, site-based conservation, and invasive alien species. He holds a PhD on bird population dynamics in the wintering areas; much of his research is based on the use of ringing data and capture-mark-recapture analytical methods..
