Volume up! The sound of Pink-footed Geese arriving into Scotland over the Isle of May

This stunning Spotted Redshank remains for its 2nd day on the Isle of May, a real rare bird for these shores as the blog explains: isleofmaynnr.wordpress.com

Spotted Redshanks (pictured) are rare visitors to the Isle of May (only 6 in the last 65 years!) but today we welcomed one as the blog explains: isleofmaynnr.wordpress.com

And here is an equally poor shot of a Shelduck from the same location. #superseabirdsunday

The Oct 2025 issue of BBC Wildlife has an article on the Swallow-tailed Gull of the Galápagos Islands. This is a nocturnal gull feeding on squid and fish that surface at night. The gull might even use echolocation to hunt. #SuperSeabirdSunday

Razorbills at Farne

Pelicans in Louisiana.

You'll have to trust me when I tell you those are Crested Terns 😀 (Wadjemup/Rottnest, Western Australia) #superseabirdsunday

Not much for me for #SuperSeabirdSunday but that full summer plumage Black-headed Gull is still around 😮

Always room for another posing puffin. #SuperSeabirdSunday

Cory's, Great and Sooty Shearwaters and a record shot of a Storm Petrel on a trip with AK Wildlife Cruises out of Falmouth on Tuesday. #SuperSeabirdSunday #Seabirds

Here’s my little turn for #SuperSeabirdSunday. See what I did there? Just my Rye sense of humour.*. xx *I’m here all week.

Catching the end of #SuperSeabirdSunday to show you a pic from our recent Albatross tour in Kaikoura, New Zealand. Amazing!

Pacific Gulls in southeast Australia a few years ago. Gotta love that red lipstick! 😊 #SuperSeabirdSunday #seabirds #WildOz

Young Puffling on the Isle of May. I felt very lucky indeed seeing one trying out their new wings - a quick stretch, spin and back in the burrow! 🪶 #SuperSeabirdSunday #ukwildlife

#SuperseabirdSunday? I've got super puffins in Crown Studio Gallery each and every day. As original paintings, prints, cards, mugs and other goodies. See also crownstudiogallery.myshopify.com

A gannet and a great skua (bonxie) at the Noss cliffs in Shetland. #superseabirdsunday

A yawning Puffin for #SuperSeabirdSunday #Seabirds

I've lots of paintings of puffins here at Crown Studio Gallery in Rothbury. I've been concentrating on painting them this year.

After fruitless 4 hour seawatch, I bumped into a Sabine's gull on Dennis Loch, North Ronaldsay, Orkney on 17th September 1995. #Birds #Orkney #Wildlife #LivingInThePast Please check out the submissions at #SuperSeabirdSunday and give this a repost if you like. Thanks. @steelyseabirder.bsky.social

#SuperSeabirdSunday one of the hardiest of seaduck is Common Scoter. @steelyseabirder.bsky.social #birdsoftheworld

Welcome to Super Seabird Sunday where we ask you to share photos, videos & artwork of seabirds to brighten up timelines. Here is my contribution of puffins on the Isle of May #SuperSeabirdSunday

Tonight’s setting sun over the Isle of May…

Pink-footed Geese have been arriving into the U.K. in the past 24hrs. The Isle of May blog has more on the story as we’ve recorded over 5,000 in 2 days. Blog link: isleofmaynnr.wordpress.com

ITS AUTUMN! The first major arrival of Pink-footed Geese today over the Isle of May as 3,095 battled their way in off the sea in strong westerly winds. Great to see. Welcome back!

The numbers have been crunched and we are delighted to report that our breeding European Shag numbers on the Isle of May are up as blog explains: isleofmaynnr.wordpress.com

For your listening pleasure, may I present The #ElegantTerns! Straight from their sold out performance in #PonceInlet #Florida #WeekKforKaraoke #Stunday #SensoryArt #weather #EastCoastKin #SuperSeabirdSunday #TheWildImages #BirdSky #birds #photography #photographersofbluesky

Hadn’t appreciated how much file compression was applied when uploading full size images to Bluesky. Re-sized to 2000 pixels and less than 1 mb file size apparently solves issues with soft photo appearance…. #ukbirding #superseabirdsunday

A strange one for #SuperSeabirdSunday! @steelyseabirder.bsky.social Can you explain this one? Black-headed Gull in full summer plumage. This is not an archive pic, it is from TODAY . . . On the Tyne at Elswick, Northumbs. @ntbirdclub.bsky.social @nenature.bsky.social @pauldavidson936.bsky.social

A Fulmar glides through the sunset with Carn Mor beyond. A quiet night up there, with many of our nocturnal seabirds now departed. #NTSSeabirds #SuperSeabirdSunday

First trip to cosmeston in a few months today. Very little bird activity. I did spot this ringed gull that might be of interest to somebody. #SuperSeabirdSunday #birds🪶🦉 #birdingwales #gulls

#SuperSeabirdSunday Lonely Scopoli's off na Foradada, Cabrera #Mallorca. They will be soon leaving the Mediterranean.

A Cardiff mega was found late afternoon so very apt for #SuperSeabirdSunday - a Red-necked Phalarope - a moulting adult at that and on the River Taff! If it's a Scottish bird it'll shortly be winging its way over the Atlantic towards the eastern Pacific #birds #birdingWales #naturephotography

Short-tailed Shearwater. (look closely and you’ll see the toes protruding behind the tail :) #SuperSeabirdSunday #seabirds #WildOz

Barrow’s goldeneye a smart sea duck. #SuperSeabirdSunday

#SuperSeabirdSunday Long-tailed Duck, tough and good looking! @steelyseabirder.bsky.social
