Find yourself a man who looks after you like this frigatebird looks after its stick

#SeabirdSeptember Another season complete with the offshore kittiwake colony I've known for 3 years now. Productivity and survival looking good, but we'll wait for the camera data to tell us more. Love to see them thriving and notice the same birds turn up on the same ledges year on year 🥰

Listen up anyone working in the Irish Sea this summer! We tagged a bunch of kitts in Liverpool Bay and want to gather as many resightings as we can. If you spot these yellow colour rings please give me a shout ([email protected]) 🐦💍💛 (Modelled by our very own VIP 😌👑) #Seabirds #IrishSea

Really interesting chat on #seabird #research careers from @theseabirdgroup.bsky.social this morning 🕊️🐥🐧 Thanks everyone on the panel for your time, some food for thought 🙏✨

This is terrifying..

New #OA paper in the #seabird journal (@theseabirdgroup.bsky.social)! We GPS-tracked Black-legged #Kittiwakes breeding on an offshore platform in the Dutch sector of the North Sea. In short, we show that they have a short foraging range compared to coastal... 1/6 www.seabirdgroup.org.uk/seabird-37

Worrying..

This makes fascinating reading. I've always felt uncomfortable with these encounters (despite finding orcas the most fascinating animal on the planet) and though I love close, incredible wildlife encounters, it's just never really sat right.. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
