The first paper from our #kittiwake/ oil platform work has been published! 🕊️🗼

2387 AONs were recorded on 14 (28%) assets. Could equate to 16,382 across pictured assets 🔺 or 7% of UK/ Ireland population, but not currently incl. in #seabird census!

#SeabirdSeptember Another season complete with the offshore kittiwake colony I've known for 3 years now. Productivity and survival looking good, but we'll wait for the camera data to tell us more. Love to see them thriving and notice the same birds turn up on the same ledges year on year 🥰

The outcomes of my study back in 2017 recommended wardens were appointed to help protect the breeding gannets on Great Saltee... and 8 years later they're in place 🥳

Well done @npwsireland.bsky.social

Listen up anyone working in the Irish Sea this summer! We tagged a bunch of kitts in Liverpool Bay and want to gather as many resightings as we can. If you spot these yellow colour rings please give me a shout (dla205@exeter.ac.uk) 🐦💍💛
