New paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social on seabird wind use and foraging decisions!

Good morning!
This @wildjustice.bsky.social petition on driven grouse shooting is 2nd most-signed petition in last hour.
We approach 6k signatures. I'd love to reach 10k before 3:30pm (ie first 24hrs). It'll be tough but let's send a strong message to Defra.

Enjoyable seawatch this morning with @owenbeaumont.bsky.social at Mablethorpe with 3 Little Auk, 3 Scaup, 9 Goldeneye. Great to also see a Snipe and Woodcock in with Dunlin flocks low over the sea heading north #UKBirding

Nice surprise the other morning having a Little Gull go through at RSPB Buckenham Marshes, but didn't realise until looking back at photos it looks to be tagged! Could be a Motus tag ? #UKbirding #Norfolkbirding
