Had an amazing time at BES2025. 1,600 people, my biggest conference! I loved talking about birds, eDNA and ceilidhing. As a final year PhD student it was inspirational and my messages are open to anyone interested in a collaboration, be it a job role or postdoc.
An image of me standing next to a sign saying Thank you for attending the BES annual meeting 2025. A conference hall talk with the image of seabirds on the projector.

Heading south into the open ocean from San Antonio, we began saw a wide range of seabirds such as Black-browed Albatross, Antipodean Albatross & Stejneger's Petrels from our high viewing point, but also from a lower deck where we lost height, but were closer to the birds.

Sweetie Potato makes some new friends in the North Sea 🌈🌊 #openhouse #blueskyartshow #birds #artsky #birdart #puffins #comics #makeart #artyear #seabirds
Brightly colored illustration of a cute pink pig with sparkly eyes floating in a rainbow inner tube in the ocean. She’s surrounded by three Atlantic puffins, floating contentedly in the water. They have large vivid orange and yellow beaks and black and white feathers. The water is different shades of blue with small waves. The sky in the background is filled with a giant rainbow semi-circle that matches the colors in Sweetie Potato’s inner tube (red, yellow, green, violet).

Passing in Formation

I captured this image of a flock of birds passing over the water at Gulfport, Mississippi. ...

"The image captures a fleeting moment of grace and motion as a flock of shorebirds passes over a calm body of water. In the foreground, royal terns glide with elegance—slender seabirds with pale bodies, sharp orange beaks, and black crests swept back like windblown crowns. Their wings are long and pointed, slicing through the air with precision, each bird suspended mid-flight in a posture of effortless command. Behind them, black skimmers trail in formation—lower to the water, darker in plumage, and unmistakable with their elongated lower mandibles glowing orange-red. Their flight is purposeful and low, as if skimming the surface for secrets. The contrast between the pale terns and the shadowed skimmers creates a layered choreography—light and dark, high and low, swift and deliberate. The water below is serene, a muted mirror that reflects the soft light of day. It offers no ripples, only a quiet stage for the airborne procession. The birds’ wings are caught in various positions—some arched, some outstretched—suggesting motion, rhythm, and the silent coordination of a shared journey. The image is signed “© Swede’s Photographs” in the bottom right corner, a quiet nod to the witness behind the lens." - Microsoft Copilot

Fulmar has to be one of the UK's best seabirds for #superseabirdsunday. The windier it gets the easier they make it look #ukbirding #birds

Ok it's kinda crazy that the flightless and most flightful birds share a clade (albatrosses are a tube-nosed seabird
Austrodyptornithes is a clade of birds that include the orders Sphenisciformes (penguins) and Procellariiformes (tube-nosed seabirds).

Moin zusammen.
Haubenpinguine heißen im Englischen Royal Penguins, was viel besser zu ihrer goldenen Krone passt.
Sie leben nur auf den subantarktischen Macquarie-Inseln

Royal penguins are endemic to Macquarie Island, and have a cool fluoro hairstyle. This yellow crest is not pure vanity, it is used to signal fitness for breeding, for species recognition and social signalling. flic.kr/p/2rM4Bn3 @saef_arc @sydney_science #marineexplorer @aurora_expeditions 🧪🦑

#ThrowbackThursday to 11th June this year and a magical day on the #IsleOfMay watching all the fabulous sea birds, especially the #puffins. Hope to see you next May @steelyseabirder.bsky.social @visit-scotland.bsky.social
Gorgeous views of the Isle of May, a sanctuary for seabirds including fulmars, cormorants, razorbills, terns and my favourites, puffins.
