A break in the unpredictable Scottish weather let us visit Lady Isle yesterday, where I helped the team with long term monitoring of the gull colonies on the island. Lots of chicks now metal and colour ringed (under licence). Look out for them and report any you spot to cr-birding.org!

A fantastic day on Inchkeith yesterday helping out with ringing shag chicks for a long term study. If you're out along the east coast of Scotland, keep your eyes peeled for colour ringed shag & report all sightings to @ukcehseabirds.bsky.social. All monitoring and handling was done under licence.

What a cracking start to the @edinburghnapier.bsky.social MSc Wildlife Biology & Conservation field tour. Today we were at St. Abbs NTS reserve learning about their seabird monitoring, seals & reserve management! Thanks to all the reserve staff for their knowledge and enthusiasm, it was infectious!

A gorgeous day in the Trossachs, with a soundtrack of wood warbler, willow warbler and garden warbler a plenty. Lots of robins and chaffinches, with beaks full of invertebrates, busy feeding their young. I love this time of year!

A great day in the field with @edinburghnapier.bsky.social MSc Wildlife Biology & Conservation students who were carrying out BBS & WeBS surveys. We were also treated to a tour of the @scotwildlife.bsky.social Bawsinch & Duddingston reserve! A fab intro to my new job at ENU!

A nice morning to be out counting gulls for the monthly Glasgow Gull Count across the city. First time counting at the Science Centre @glasgowscience.bsky.social for me and the gulls were very obliging! Nice to see some common gulls in the mix #ornithology

Thanks to all the organisers of the @btobirds.bsky.social Scottish Ringers Conference for a really exciting and inclusive conference! Thanks for inviting me to present my work! It was lovely to catch up with both old and new friends! I'm already looking forward to next year!
