That hotspot in the North Sea is a key foraging area for Bass #gannets. Wonder what the impact could be for a colony already under pressure from #HPAI @SeabirdCentre @gannetrocks @heyjooode #seabirds

[Jude Lane @heyjooode]

So pleased to be able to share our work on HPAI and northern gannets ... a big collaborative effort!

@Duncbye @YorkBirding You’re very welcome: great that you caught up with them. They were bathing when I first saw them, so much easier to spot!

[Keith Hamer @KeithCHamer]

@YorkBirding Four bar-tailed godwits at Wheldrake just now, including this one in summer plumage: in grass to side of Swantail hide

[Keith Hamer @KeithCHamer]

@YorkBirding Two whimbrel still in front of platform at Thorganby: feeding well in wet grass at near side of Ings

Botanist Irene Manton FRS was born #OnThisDay in 1904. She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1961 for her work on the ultramicroscopic structure of plants and on their evolution, and was the first female president of the Linnean Society. https://t.co/Salh6rODBo

@YorkBirding Drake garganey at Wheldrake. In front of Swantail hide at 11:30; now in cover at canal end of ditch beside hide.

@YorkBirding Two grey partridges this afternoon off the footpath from North to South Duffield

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Thousands of seabirds in colonies across the country are dying with bird flu.

A lethal strain of the virus has found its way from poultry into seabirds and it's been spreading fast over the last few weeks.

@alextomo reports.

[Scottish Seabird Centre @SeabirdCentre]

Sadly, avian flu is now confirmed in gannets from the #BassRock
We continue to track how the disease is spreading within the colony. The scale of impact may not be known for some time, but reports in other affected species suggest a high level of mortality
Very worrying times

[Prof Jane Hill @JaneHillYork]

Here is my more nuanced take on the “splatometer” of insect declines. Declines are worrying of course but hyperbole is not helpful.

Care about conserving tropical biodiversity and reducing the impacts of oil palm in African savannas? Snazzy new PhD on offer with me, @JaneHillYork and @seniormjm at Proforest.

This blows my mind. We emitted the same amount CO2 in 12 years from 2010-2021 as the total emitted from the start of the Industrial Revolution till 1971.
