Phd researcher studying urban gull behaviour at University of Exeter, Cornwall | Bird ringer and avid ring reader

Ever wondered what gulls really prefer to eat?
🐟or🥪
Out now: My 2nd #PhD paper, a study of Rescue* Herring gull chicks' food preferences, and whether they could be influenced by their early-life diet.
*Chicks reared in captivity as they couldn't be returned to their parents

🎉 Second first-author paper from my PhD research is now published open-access for all to read & share!!🎉 Young puffins are drawn to artificial light & spectrum may not matter. They're also less active under LED compared to sodium light or darkness 💡🐧 https://t.co/g9HxCYY5Zj

Our new paper is out today in @IBIS_journal. All about the visual fields of gulls and their propensity for collisions with anthropogenic objects. Link to paper below. Congrats 1st author Jenny Cantlay, with the wonderful Prof. Graham Martin. @RHULBioSci #ornithology

My first first-author publication and the first chapter of my PhD... a lot of firsts! Feeling proud 🥳

Big thanks to my research team, friends in Cornwall for hosting me and all the wonderful volunteers!

@veritylmiles Congratulations Verity! 😃😃🎉🎊🎉 I shall have a read! Willow is also now famous for her 'help' 😆😍

I’m seeing a lot of anger and disappointment in badger circles today that the badger cull is ending, but not ending fast enough. Apologies for the long thread 🧵, but tet me explain why I think the news is the best it could be 1/25

[Emma Inzani @EmmaInzani]

@CalidrisPhoto Wow nice find and very bizarre find! Maybe some unfortunate predation interaction or scavenging? would be my guess

@scottishseabird @TheSeabirdGroup @WaterbirdCM @_BTO @KaneBrides @FrancisDaunt @AlcaTorda17 @SkokholmIsland @Au_Erithacus @UKCEHseabirds @Stephen8Vickers I don't manage our seabird CR but @ringing_mark does all our Cornish and collab'ing on setup of Scillies ringing also 🙂

@ed_kroc Very cool! I can't wait to read, congratulations Ed!!

The culmination of nearly a decade of work: my new paper with Louise Blight @procellaria11 and Wilson Cao on urban-nesting Glaucous-winged Gulls (GWGUs) of @CityofVancouver now online in Ecological Modelling. I'll give the highlights here, but more to come soon. 1/7

[Rosie Woodroffe @RosieWoodroffe]

To the people asking me "What about the hedgehogs?", can I take a moment to highlight this seal of approval from hedgehog expert-in-chief @hedgehoghugh ? Badgers do eat hedgehogs but the two species coexisted for millennia before pesticides etc came along

For once a little GOOD NEWS about bovine tuberculosis control for UK farmers 🐄🦡💉! I'm proud to share our latest paper, you can read it for free here: https://t.co/45KG5xcMTt 1/19

It's that time of year again. Have a go at picking out your own juvenile Yellow-legged Gull on our beaches with juvenile Herring Gulls... This YLG was at Broadsands Beach #Torbay yesterday evening - compare with the juvenile Herring Gull photos

[Emma Inzani @EmmaInzani]

@RobThomas14 I'd recommend the tangtastics if I had to choose a haribo. Though I most have a weakness for a mint Terry's chocolate orange atm.. I might need a bigger bird.. 🦅

I wasn't allowed to test crisps with my gull chicks but this adult herring gull has learnt this is a easy meal. Not necessarily good for them at all, but they can't taste spicy foods as they lack the taste sense for capsaicin, which is 'heat' spicy sensation we get.

[BBC Breakfast @BBCBreakfast]

A shoplifting bird dubbed "Steven Seagull" has been banned from a convenience store for flying off with 30 packets of crisps in the past two months alone

@RobThomas14 Thanks Rob! It's so nice to see our work out in the world, hopefully helping people understand urban gulls more 😊
