Very cool new #seabird paper showing no difference in breeding success between healthy and black-eyed gannets, but a worrying overall decline in productivity following the #avianflu outbreak. 🦠🐣

A huge thanks to the #CoimbraSeabirds organisers for such a fantastic conference last week!
Lovely to catch up with friends, present @rspb.bsky.social research from this summer on stormies, as well as taking a much-needed holiday afterwards in Lisbon (many pastel de natas were eaten)! ☀️

Excited to be officially starting my new role as Senior Conservation Scientist with @rspb.bsky.social this week! 🥳
I'm looking forward to spending more time working on storm petrels - the birds that got me into #seabirds in the first place 🥰

My PhD paper on the repeatability of avian migratory timings was a #TopDownloadedArticle in @animalecology.bsky.social in 2022, yay! 🥳 Check it out here: doi.org/10.1111/1365... 🔗
