Results are in for the Isle of May seabird breeding season. Fulmar breeding success was 41%. An average season with the long term mean at 40% @theseabirdgroup.bsky.social @smp-seabirds.bsky.social @ukceh.bsky.social

Epic day yesterday with watches, puffin fledgling rescue, puffin chick weighing, kittiwake logger deployment and puffin netting from 5am to 9.30pm. Similar vein today with everyone out for 5am with mire kittiwake watches and concurrent puffin netting. We'll have a fair bit of seabird data by the end

Happy new year everyone! ✨🎉

Welcome to the last Super Seabird Sunday of the year where we ask you to share seabird photos, videos & artwork to brighten up timelines like these Gannets of the Bass rock. #SuperSeabirdSunday #Seabirds

Gulls Eating Stuff sounds like a great cit sci project.
Upload your photos of gulls eating stuff here:

(I once saw one gulp down a half-grown duckling - no photo, just an indelible image seared into my brain 🤮)

🚨Calling for seabird tracking data!

Any thoughts from more experienced wader ring readers - seems to match the Norwegian Barwit project on IWSG register, but not listed on www.ringmerking.no/cr/?

Thanks to all at ECOTOP & @theseabirdgroup.bsky.social for organising such a great conference. Lovely to catch up with old friends, meet new ones, & learn more about the amazing breadth of seabird research going on around the world!! Also enjoyed my first poster session #CoimbraSeabirds

A great turn-out for the 16th International #Seabird Group Conference! 🥳 #CoimbraSeabirds

We’re only halfway through, and already had lots of fantastic seabird presentations! Huge thanks to the ECOTOP team at the University of Coimbra for putting on such an excellent event 🤩

Lots of Puffins and Kittiwakes around to welcome us back to the Isle of May for the summer field season. Great to be back on the island and see it start springing back to life after a tough winter for many of our #seabirds.
