We are looking to hire a Seabird Field Assistant for 2026 for our Manx Shearwater research project. Please share this to anyone who'd like to get out in the field this summer and learn about biotelemetry, bird handling and research into animal behaviour. drive.google.com/file/d/1SGZt...

Can we communicate our reaserch in more fun and accessible ways? I loved working with Anna @btobirds.bsky.social on her fantastic comic illustrating our recent work using seabird poo to look at their diet! Find out more at www.bto.org/our-work/new... #ornithology #seabirds #SciArt

Where to now?! A number of seabirds covered by the SMP are migratory, spending the winter away from the UK. Storm Petrels are a great example, wintering off the coast of southern Africa in the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans! #seabirds @btobirds.bsky.social @jncc.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social

New large-scale study based on SEAPOP data shows that #ocean #warming threatens #seabirds in the North Atlantic @ninanatureresearch.bsky.social

🐢🦭🐦New @pnas.org study provides a quantitative risk assessment framework for mortality due to macroplastic ingestion in seabirds,marine mammals & sea turtles. 6 to 405 pieces of ingested #plastic (or volume of 0.044-39.89 cm3/cm length) lead to a 90% chance of mortality. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

DNA sequencing separated Tropical shearwaters of northern colonies from those of southern colonies. #seabirds onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

NEW PAPER in #ornithology and #conservation reviews the marine threats to #seabirds and other marine #megafauna and confirms that #fisheries are a severe problem: buff.ly/5SXNdqr

Drones and deep learning are rewriting how we count seabirds. On the remote Bounty Islands, AI and 3D mapping reveal colonies with new clarity. Read more in The Ornithologist. theornithologist.org/automating-t... #TheOrnithologist #seabirds #ornithology

Wild seabirds are more likely to split up in windy weather, new Edinburgh Napier-led research with UKCEH & @bioss.bsky.social shows. This is significant as climate change is bringing windier weather conditions. UKCEH's Francis Daunt spoke to BBC Scotland (~1hr 27m) www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... 🧪

I am very excited to share that we have a new paper out today in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com In it, we summarize the state of knowledge on the Circular Seabird Economy! 1/n 🧪 Link to paper here: rdcu.be/eMOUd

Hey seabird folks - have you ever thought "*ANOTHER* talk about <species X>?!" So did we. So we reviewed 3000 conference abstracts to see which species get the spotlight. Huge work from @ingridpollet.bsky.social with me and @seabirdsentinel.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
