We are in our last 5 days to raise our target of £2,500! Please RT and donate to get us over the last hurdle! #balearic # shearwater #extinction https://t.co/BcAFi0cWEM

It's always a bit exciting when people come to @skomer_island to talk about Manxies rather than puffins! This @BBCWalesNews article gives a great overview of why we study them & why shearwaters are such amazing birds https://t.co/kUjbAFW2l6 #seabirds #ornithology @martyna_syposz

Yesterday, birders at @PortlandBirdObs enjoyed 27 #Balearic #shearwaters, Europe's only critically endangered seabird, past the bill. BS are estimated to go #extinct in 60 years. Please RT & help us continue monitor their breeding colonies (pic Joe Pender) https://t.co/CjFw5ehNnM

[Tash Gillies @tash_gillies]

Halfway through our campaign on @CopelandBirdObs and we've retrieved 20/25 of our #GPS! Many of this year's parents are staying close to home when finding food for their chicks, suggesting profitable waters close to the colony #seabirdersaturday #ornithology #navigation

Save Our Shearwaters UPDATE: We have now reached 64% of our target of £2500. Thanks so much to everybody who has donated! This means we only need £860 to reach our target! Let's understand and stop the decline of Europe's only critically endangered #seabird! #Balearic #Shearwater https://t.co/ZjUOhHeSKN

#Balearic #shearwaters are more endangered than the giant panda or the polar bear @IUCNRedList. Pls donate! https://t.co/EyeG1SeLop

On this #seabirdersaturday help Europe’s most endangered #seabird - share and support this #crowdfunding campaign to allow vital research to continue! @SeabirdEcology @seabird_sos @TheSeabirdGroup @RSPBScience

#Balearic #Shearwaters are the northern hemisphere's only critically endangered #seabird and need our help! 49% of our target reached - thank you to everybody who has donated! https://t.co/Gb7PKks0zS

Critically endangered Balearic shearwaters face #extinction in 60 yrs. @BirdGuides explains what you can do to help: https://t.co/7oyfYClHcB

[Ollie Padget @OlliePadget]

85% annual survival is not enough for a stable population of #balearic #shearwaters #seabirdersaturday please donate! https://t.co/NY6QoULMrd

[Ollie Padget @OlliePadget]

#Balearic #shearwaters need our help to avoid #extinction estimated in as few as 60 years. We are raising money for a new boat trailer so that crucial monitoring of this species can continue. 15% of target achieved! @_BTO @Natures_Voice @BBCSpringwatch https://t.co/9bMgcplTDe

[Tash Gillies @tash_gillies]

Because they breed underground, we don't usually know what #manxShearwaters are getting up to at the nest. The new @skomer_island burrow cams have changed that, so even watching an adult settle on its egg is pretty exciting - looks like a fiddly operation! #seabirds #ornithology

[Ollie Padget @OlliePadget]

Save Our Shearwaters is trying to raise £2500 to fund a new boat trailer used for the conservation research of Europe's only critically endangered seabird. Please #donate on @justgiving and RT. Thanks! https://t.co/A0PG6Pm3IY

The Balearic shearwater is estimated to go #extinct in ~60yrs. @miguelmcminn @tash_gillies @AnnetteFayet @RhiAustin @oxnav_group https://t.co/B49QOHDGof

[Tash Gillies @tash_gillies]

Night 2 of Manx deployments: 10 birds fitted w/ GPS backpacks, ready to collect data on at-sea movements. ~10 years of tandem tracking on @skomer_island and @CopelandBirdObs has given us useful info on colony diffs in foraging strategy & changes over time #seabirds #science

[Tash Gillies @tash_gillies]

A successful day gull catching w/ @bryony6192 made even better by getting up close with this fluffball. It's a shame these beautiful birds are best known for stealing chips: w/ widespread population declines, herring gulls are on the UK red list & need our support more than ever

[Tash Gillies @tash_gillies]

It was a tight squeeze in one of our nests last night as after 2 days of neglect, both parents returned to their egg. Manx eggs can last ~14 days without being incubated - but hopefully these 2 will soon realise it's easier to split the burden #seabirdersaturday #ornithology

Also, Tim Guilford from Oxford Navigation @oxnav_group runs a project about Balearic shearwater on Mallorca.
