Seabirds, the ocean and climate change. Hornøya birdcliff. Juggling my life between academia and being a mom - opinions are my own

What are the opportunities for effective and efficient seabird conservation response to climate change?
Interesting new paper in The Society for Conservation Biology
Perpaps a good read for us not attending #CoimbraSeabirds

It is through urban #greenspaces and #greeninfrastructure that human populations benefit from and connect with nature in cities.🏙🌿Visintin et al share that #architecturaldesign and #conservationscience need to be combined to enhance nature in cities. https://t.co/qwypvAVn3O

Our new paper lead by @katelm92 shows effects of ocean warming and polutants on GBB gull survival - combining our longterm data of demography and geolocators from Hornøya

Effects of climate change and pollutants on seabird survival through path analysis

@tonereiert @M2Lab_org @NINAnature @NINAforskning

[Bob Swann @SwannBob]

In 55 years we have never seen the seabird colonies on Canna in a worse state. Fulmar, gulls, shags and guillemots at or near record low numbers. Breeding productivity figures for most species well below long term averages. Food supply a big issue.

The survival cost of reproducing in cormorants is not due to increased energy expenditure, despite having large clutches [for a seabird].

@KateRSearle This is so true - love it too❤️

Fieldwork variations: From birdcliff to urban environments: we continue our ringing and monitoring of urban Kittiwakes in Tromsø. Yesterday we ringed at Kittiwake hotels in a park and on a rooftop in Tromsø #urbankittiwake @NINAnature #seabirds

[Tone Reiertsen @tonereiert]

Fieldwork on Hornøya is continuing. Ringing and tagging of puffins and razorbills in all kinds of weather, is primary focus at this stage.

All birds handled carefully and with special permits.

Ringing Kittiwakes at Ekkerøy in East Finnmark while being filmed by national TV. Colab with vets - checking for HPAI antibodies after last years devastating outbreak that killed 15k. Chick productions is promising and weather is fab! #seabirds @NINAnature

[Tone Reiertsen @tonereiert]

Ringing #urbankittiwakes at the Kittiwake-hotels in Tromsø. Chick production looks very good so far, and diet samples are rich @NINAnature

[Tone Reiertsen @tonereiert]

A magic encounter ✨ …and with my favourite the bridled guillemot. Back doing fieldwork on Hornøya #seabirds @NINAnature

[Tone Reiertsen @tonereiert]

@Ragnto Ja veldig trist 😢

[Tone Reiertsen @tonereiert]

Devastating scenes from Hornøya. several hundreds oiled #seabirds Mainly auks, but also Kittiwakes, gulls and shags. No source detected, but strong easterly winds suggest potential spill come from east. Worst scenario now - beginning of breeding season

[SEAPOP @SEAPOP4]

Several #seabird species, especially common guillemots and #puffins in the SEAPOP-colony Hornøya, are currently affected by an #oilspill. The source of the oil is unknown. Article in Norwegian - pictures speaking for themselves

@SteelySeabirder Morning from Northern Norway, and here are some puffins flying into the midnight sun in the Barents Sea this summer 😊 #SuperSeabirdSunday

Terrible scenes from Eastern Finnmark Norway the last couple of weeks - 12 000 dead Kittiwakes collected so far. Majority found close to the most important mainland colony, Ekkerøy

[Reuters @Reuters]

Workers collected dead birds in Norway's Arctic town of Vadso as the country faces a record outbreak of bird flu this year that has killed thousands of birds, according to officials https://t.co/I9B8RU1Xwg

[Tone Reiertsen @tonereiert]

@KlausRiede @NINAnature We ring them and deploy geolocators to get info of population annual survival and kon-breeding distribution. Crucial knowledge enabling us to provide better management and conservation

[Tone Reiertsen @tonereiert]

Razorbills (the best seabird 😉) are everywhere on Hornøya, but soooo hard to capture. Especially when you want the ones with gls 😅 #seabirds #seabirdersaturday #fieldwork @NINAnature

[Tone Reiertsen @tonereiert]

Bird flu is hitting very hard along the Barents Sea coast at the moment. Hundreds of dead Kittiwakes in some locations. This is really devastating for a species already in steep decline:
