#Seabirds at risk: Common Guillemots concentrate for moulting where wind farms are planned in the German North Sea: see latest aerial suveys by #DDA in September 2025: www.dda-web.de/downloads/ma...

DDA #Seabird Monitoring Team discovered spring staging of White-billed Divers at Dogger Bank - 13 birds (and another 5 large divers) in late April 2025: www.dda-web.de/aktuelles/me...

Longevity in #seabirds: nearly 25-year-old Herring Gull Green AH75 (ringed as a chick on #Helgoland in July 2000) was spotted by Bernhard near Cuxhaven, Germany. Same place as in January 2024 and February 2023, but before it was last seen in 2004 (hidden for almost 19 years).

Interesting #seabird: new telemetry study about #Medgull foraging flights and prospecting behaviour in urban colonies in and around Hamburg: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Old #seabird: More than 21 years after hatching in Hamburg: #Medgull male green AKJC recorded the 10th winter at Ciboure, SW France (6 January). In between seen in one of the three Hamburg breeding colonies in 11 years.

Happy to have contributed to a study that shows that wind farms jeopardize the conservation targets of a Marine Protected Area in the German North Sea. #loons www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
