We have chicks! The first of the @NPWSIreland live-streaming Chough nests in West Cork has started hatching. First hatching at 1am this morning and now at least three. @Notice_Nature@NPWSNatureCons

Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, recently returned to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge!
The beloved Laysan albatross, or mōlī, is in her 70s now and was first spotted last Friday by a volunteer.

The Isle of May has seen a good number of young Guillemot chicks leave the island in recent days, heading out to the open sea with their fathers, like the one in the video. The full story is on the blog: https://t.co/VnWtRiQI6m
Kittiwakes generally rear one or two chicks on the Isle of May but we see a few broods of three.
These chicks have a way to go before fledging but so far so good.

First proper westerly wind in ages. Recording sheets tied down, hat stapled to head, binoculars rammed in eye sockets. But the Razorbills are wind dancing a metre away. The best auk, surely? Discuss @TheSeabirdGroup@UK_CEH@SteelySeabirder@nature_scot@Natures_Voice
Night time influx of Manx Shearwaters on @skomer_island captured on thermal imaging camera 👌
Incredible scenes watching thousands of Manx shearwaters coming in under the cover of darkness, an amazing sight - thanks to our guest Ben for a go on his thermal scope 😍
And we a-GO with #Swift season 2023! 🥳
They've been whizzing around for a couple of days but only now has the first one truly come home: the male of box 1. He has been with us since 2016 and is at least 9 years old.
These birds blow my mind. Where has he been these past months?
Lovely morning at RSPB Newport Wetlands with the otter, weasel and to many waders ducks and Reed bunting to count but did come across these beautiful bearded tits.
