You forget how big #WanderingAlbatross are until you put something in the picture for scale... almost ready to fledge #BirdIslandSG

Not many more magical experiences on #StKilda than the sight and sound of Leach's Storm Petrels returning to their breeding sites at night! Peak activity through the wee hours last night with the cleits alive with these oceanic wanderers. #NTSseabirds

In an industry first, artificial nesting platforms have been constructed near an #OffshoreWind farm, designed to house vulnerable #birds. Hornsea 3 is the first UK offshore wind project to specifically require ecological compensation. Read more 👉 https://t.co/ZMZAXt9e5x

Not a bad view from the 'office' today #seabirds #fieldwork #lucky . Lots of healthy big #kittiwake chicks. @ Staithes https://t.co/btyCt9ylJZ

Albatrosses & large petrels are particularly at risk of #bycatch. They’re attracted to prey near the ocean surface including fish used as bait in longline fisheries, or discarded fish.

New life from the loft. Nice to ring a brood of #starlings this evening (birds handled and ringed under licence) #birdringing #bto #GoodLuckLilGuys

Life is good right now! #lunchwithaview #bassrock #gannets

Conservation in action as we had a team out on the Isle of May helping us sort the specialist tern nesting areas ready for their 're-tern'. The blog has the story: https://t.co/VnWtRiQI6m

After a choppy start (& a bit more) the sun came out & had us wrapping up this week’s course with another bunch of happy new #VSAS surveyors.
Barnacle geese & fulmar new species for the week, + more sightings of WT eagle, scoter & divers. Phew!

This is what happens when you release balloons into the environment, your fun becomes another’s creatures death knell….this one I found yesterday at Lowestoft😡. #banballoons #PlasticPollution #kittiwakes #balloons #rubbish #takeithome

Bernicia apparently think it's ok to scaffold around Kittiwake nests 72-74 Southgate, Hartlepool Headland. They're only effing gulls according to scaffolders. One in care after being left on pavement.

Heading home. A view of #Hartlepool from the sea.

#NorthSea #sunset nice to be back with the seabirds

[Liz Morgan @ElalmoLiz]

@glugable Definitely!

[Liz Morgan @ElalmoLiz]

Someone had the bright idea to make an #albatross for the top of the Christmas tree.......

[British Antarctic Survey 🐧 @BAS_News]

What do you put on top of the tree when celebrating #Christmas on #BirdIsland? Take a look 👀 https://t.co/z5Y8gS3QN5

Large overlap in areas used by foraging shags and kelp harvest.

We need to understand the effects of kelp harvest through the different trophic levels to facilitate ecosystem-based management of coastal resources.
