We're trying to develop automated techniques to measure meal size and growth rate of auk chicks. The idea would be to put small scales in our artificial shelves and then hope that birds simply move in on top of them. Have anyone done anything similar? #seabirdersaturday #Seabirds

@tonereiert @sjurdur Interesting! Thanks Tone!

@Scillypelagics Do you embark Plancius on Wednesday as well? We're hoping to gather some seabird and marine mammal data along our way. Looking forward to discussing this later on!

@KateSprogis @OneOceanExp @CAOceanAlliance Congratulations on an epic observation! We'll get them next week ; )

Busy day on Salsbury Plain, home to about 60 000 pairs King #Penguins. Snow is falling, and the winter is coming to South Georgia. #SeabirderSaturday

And to complement the graphic ocean nutrient cycling - here's one for seabird islands and near shore environments. Using pics from a bunch of excellent photographers. @lyndsayrankin

When "slow-panning" finally pays off! Cape Petrel in 1/30 s. Crazy fast flying birds! #SeabirderSaturday

Looking forward to be heading south again with @OceanwideExp. Our destination is the Antarctic Peninsula and eventually South Georgia, some of the most spectacular places on the planet!
