Colony managers know it The literature ignores it! Many seabirds are young - juvenile, immature, subadult, prebreeder - and we know v little about them! Here's our paper on why you should care about young seabirds for conservation! W/ @ejgnam2.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/fee....

Just wait til the end…something you don’t see very often in amongst our Razorbills on the sea cliffs of the Isle of May. Quack.

Another #superseabirdsunday and now it's almost the end of the field season... This is a juvenile captured in a burrow who will probably fledge in the next couple of days.

New study finds river otters 🦦 prey on seabirds across 73 North American islands! 🔹 Otters prefer small burrow-nesting seabirds 🔹 They’ll swim up to 8 km across open water to reach colonies 🔹 Most attacks occur on nearshore islands Full study: bit.ly/4mhJZCz

Happy 18th birthday ggplot2! #rstats

How about a gorgeous Imm Belchers Gull photographed in Peru for #SuperSeabirdSunday

It's #superseabirdsunday and our Newfoundland field season has just begun! A razorbill and some other alcids on Great Island, Witless Bay (NL).

Happy national puffin day to the best alcid, the razorbill (it's been a great week already for terrorizing everyone with my binocular photography)

A peculiar male petrel (and Storm-petrel) habit is the courtship growl- I’ve often heard it from burrows but didn’t realise it involved inflation of the throat. Some species can have a very low register for their body size. Here a White-necked Petrel gives it his all. #SuperSeabirdSunday🪶

Welcome to Super Seabird Sunday where we ask you to share photos, videos & artwork of seabirds to brighten up timelines. Here is my contribution; a pair of Razorbills on the cliff ledges #SuperSeabirdSunday #seabirds

A Yellow-legged Gull from Fuerteventura last week for #SuperSeabirdSunday

Kermadec Petrel ‘606’ has done a great job as a first-time parent on Phillip Island, Norfolk. However, nest placement means every blowy day is a bad-hair-day! #SuperSeabirdSunday#Seabirds🪶

Just wonderful :)

New preprint on why we should care about young seabirds (a.k.a. juveniles, immatures, subadults, prebreeders) that you!☝️ might find interesting for marine conservation, future movement ecology studies, life history, etc. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #seabirds #conservation

It’s #SuperSeabirdSunday so here’s one of the best seabirds on the planet. A juvenile Long-tailed Skua showing all the salient ID features. Sadly, not even a description species in Norfolk now, despite their scarcity. 🤷‍♂️😬 Photo from BTO.

I'm so here for #tubenosestuesday!! Another of our Leach's storm-petrels from Witless Bay, Newfoundland, plus perhaps my favorite LHSP picture yet:

I’d go for #TubenosesTuesday Colleague doing PhD on terns on Phillip Is, Norfolk sent me a snap yesterday of one of my returning Kermadec fledglings with GLS attached, overflying the colony (in the company of a White-necked Petrel). I’m 1200 km away. Bird didn’t land🫤#Seabirds

My contribution for this week's #SuperSeabirdSunday a Balearic Shearwater which I photographed off Scarborough, North Yorkshire on 27th August 2017.
