Hydrobates pelagicus melitensis. During the first night, we identified with my Pulsar thermal camera where the main activity was in the cave. That is where we put the trigger during the second night and the results were fabulous !

Scientists have developed a rapid, accurate way to estimate seabird age (many live 70+ yrs). The new tool measures changes in an animal’s DNA as it ages. And it could revolutionise assessments of threatened seabird populations & boost conservation efforts!

20 years ago there was no frigatebirds nesting on mainland Ascension, this was today.
The feral cat eradication on Ascension is a huge conservation success and this is the evidence! #Seabirds
