So chuffed to have been able to see Emperor Penguin chicks at Snow Hill in the Weddell Sea in Antarctica.

@CanonUKandIE I would like to upgrade my R6 to the R5 or maybe even the R3

Please indulge us while we do a little bragging – not about ourselves, but about all the great pics people take during our cruises.

#birdflu is devastating our seabirds. Hundreds of dead Guillemots have been washed up around coast of Pembrokeshire and east coast of UK. It's a CRISIS that needs URGENT attention, more resources and action from Welsh and UK Government. At least @BBCBreakfast covered issue today

Arctic Skua vs Kittiwake. Skuas will parasitise the Kittiwake if carrying food, on this occasion it wasn’t and it managed to get away.

Your dog can pick up and transmit avian flu. It can also make your pets sick. Please keep them on leads.

Beautiful pufflings from Skokholm. I’m just back from Iceland and Svalbard where there was not much evidence of pufflings yet.

[Skokholm Island @SkokholmIsland]

A big range of sizes in the Pufflings encountered today, the oldest five weeks of age and nearly ready to make their solo journeys to the ocean, the youngest still awaiting another three weeks or so of fish deliveries.

[Martin Anstee @martin_anstee]

Terrible that we are still persecuting birds of prey in this country. Sentences must be increased for those found guilty and to deter potential criminals.

[Bucktonbirder now on Bluesky @Bucktonbirder]

On @BBCSpringwatch this evening, talking about bird of prey killing. BBC2 8pm.

Picture yourself standing near one of Earth's most remote penguin colonies and observe all these adorable chicks. It's possible when you join one of our #WeddellSea #emperorpenguin voyages.
