Seabirds, such as kittiwakes, gannets, and puffins, are key indicators of marine health. Paulo Bessa has spent the past week as part of a NatureScot team surveying seabird populations on the Shiant Isles. In today’s blog he explains why. #WorldOceansDay https://t.co/jcWB1nGFfA

And some bits of the #Shiants themselves...

Some non-marine #Shiants wildlife!

[Bethany Smith @bethanyasmith42]

Had an absolutely fantastic time visiting the #Shiants with @NatureScot

Got to see many beautiful seabirds, experience these amazing islands, and worked with some fantastic people. And it's wonderful being able to contribute to vital seabird survey data.

Feeling so lucky!

Anyone know what this is? Found in a rockpool on the Shiant isles, about 2-3cm across and pulsed occasionally (not attached to the substrate).

Every once in a while, the internet stumbles on this old 7-second video of me demonstrating the cranial kinetic apparatus of a hyacinth macaw 🦜 & start sharing it anew. That's happening again, so I'll post a link to a longer, more explanatory video.

Finished skeletonizing this hyacinth macaw today & made this cranial kinesis vid. Full vid on the WitmerLab FB.

Transgender Awareness Week runs from 13-19 November each year & leads up to Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) on November 20, which commemorates victims of transphobic violence.

At this time it is all the more important to support the Trans & Non-binary community.

It does suck that I now don't have any relief for my sore back and abdomen 😭😭😭 but hey, I got really lucky here so I'll take what I got

[Bethany Smith @bethanyasmith42]

Well, this was a fun distraction from working late on my thesis

Luckily it just dribbled a bit on my leg, but wow this could have been bad 😅.

A good reminder to myself to check my other hot water bottles and to be better about following the instructions I guess
