Looking like a poor season for #Puffins in the #Faroes from local accounts and observations so far - lots of adults still feeding young chicks which should have fledged by this time of year, many dead chicks in the colony and very low numbers in general :( any others finding similar? #seabirds

Long term monitoring is essential to understanding seabird populations - especially in the context of climate change. A 68-year study on Leach’s storm-petrels showed that survival is inversely related to the AMO index #Seabirds #Ornithology royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

🎉New paper out! My first as last author 🔗http://www.marineornithology.org/PDF/53_1/53_1_1-11.pdf 🧵 Let me walk you through years of research on a rare, elusive & endangered #Seabirds : the Tahiti petrel A story of exploration, discovery, and challenges in conservation science👇 📷Hadoram Shirihai

We haven't done a full check, but we might have captured the oldest puffin on Machias Seal Island. While the longevity record for Atlantic Puffin is 45 years (from Iceland), the North American record is 33 years. Last night we captured a bird banded as a chick in 1992, making it 33!🧪🪶

Couldn't let #WorldSeabirdDay go past without a nod from us and the best UK #seabird there is! Here's to another year where we will advocate and fight for our beautiful, wonderful #seabirds ❤️❤️❤️ What's your favourite seabird?? [Photo: Debs Allbrook]

And here's a Northern Giant Petrel (Macronectes halli). The giant petrels have the longest tubes of any of the tubenoses. 😀 #WorldAlbatrossDay #seabirds #BigHonkinSeabirds #birds

The annual storm-petrels in Portugal project (established in 1990) is underway with 35 ringed so far, plus a UK ringed bird #2787269. Data are submitted to the Portuguese ringing scheme, CEMPA. #ItsNeverTooLateToStartALongTermDataset

A great #seabirds conference. Submit your symposium and workshop proposal!

Enter Enelyne Moli’s talk on wedge-tailed sheatwaters breeding in Vanuatu! They used the traditional harvest done for wedgies on the island to randomly sample 70 birds for plastics in their guts. And guess how many pieces of plastic total they found?!? ONE SINGLE PIECE #ICCB2025 🧪

Emperor penguins may never set foot on land. They breed and forage from sea ice and need it to remain stable for 8-9 months. But that's changing. @ptfretwell.bsky.social et al's analysis of satellite imagery suggests the birds’ numbers declined 22% over a 15-year period www.bas.ac.uk/media-post/e...
