Checked out our new paper yet? Light pollution from ships illuminate seabird cliffs and decreases yelkouan shearwater colony attendance. Calling on @TransportMalta and @sostenibilitamt to adopt proposed measures. https://t.co/R4Gf8Kbd3r @jlugiessen @BirdLife_Malta

Just finished a big project that's been going on for the last 10 yrs or so and delivered to the publisher. Now to focus on some of my own work including a v exciting conservation awareness project, which will feature oil work and illustration...exciting times ahead..!!

Corvids are famous for their ability to use tools, but the Crested Jayshrike is the only one who *listens* to Tool

Ainley's #StormPetrels #Hydrobates cheimomnestes is a poorly known sps breeding in winter in #GuadalupeIs #Mexico. Now @IslasGECI recovered our 1st geolocator & @FmedranoM made this raw map unveiling completely unknown non-breeding areas. Check our review

Cool to see the Celebration for my ABA 700th species printed in the latest @ABA magazine! Shoutout to @pterodromas and @dhitchcox for being great birding buds.

One main objective of our visit to #MontañaClara is to study the migration of this poorly known cool population of band-ramped #StormPetrel in #CanaryIs. We found 19 nests and deployed 7 #geolocators. Now we have to wait for 1y to get them back!! 🤞🤞@begarcia89 #Hydrobates

Last week, two female Erect-crested penguins went out fitted with https://t.co/dRq1cAPDkn and brought back the first look into the birds' foraging behaviour and feeding preferences.

Right now it seems to be primarily krill. Will that change as chicks grow? #Antipodes2022

[Michael Roast @Roasty247]

Excellent genetic assessment of Atlantic/Mediterranean Puffinus seabird populations reveals that a new taxonomy that better reflects the current stage of speciation across lineages. Great work @JoanFerrerObiol @SeabirdEcology

Great #shearwater @GretaThunberg now off the coast of Uruguay! She traveled over 4600 km last week during migration. #trackseabirds #seabirds #birds #SciComm #ScienceTwitter #ornithology #ecology

PHENOMENAL ALBATROSS BREEDING SUCCESS: Breeding success for Tristan #albatross is a massive 75.5% in 2022 – more than 2x the 2004-2021 average! Our team counted 1,186 chicks from 1,570 pairs, hardening our resolve to achieve a mouse-free future for #Gough #conservationoptimism

[Alex Berryman @AlexJB497]

Phenomenal. Bar-tailed Godwit has broken its own record: a first-year bird (five months old!) has flown 13,560 km—just shy of the direct flight limit of a Boeing 787—from Alaska to Tasmania, seemingly non-stop, in just 11 days (avg. speed: c.51 km/hr).

New tiny article. We expanded the known distribution of Ainley's storm-petrel to U.S waters 🤯 by using tracking devices 🛰️. Important for U.S. endangered species act!

Incredible capture today by @pterodromas at @briloonME’s banding station in West Falmouth: WESTERN WOOD-PEWEE!

[Paul Connaughton @shearwatertours]

Scopoli's Shearwater! A first for Ireland if accepted. Today on our pelagic from Baltimore!
Totals were 1 Scopoli's, 16 Cory's, 40+ Sooty and 60+ Great Shearwaters. 2 brief Wilson's Storm-petrels, 7 Great Skuas, 1 Arctic Skua, along with hundreds of Manx and Storm-petrels.

🚨NEW PAPER🚨 I'm delighted to share my first, first-author paper! Unfortunately it's not good news for Great Black-backed Gulls. We estimated they've declined by 48% GLOBALLY in the last 36 years and suggest a move to "Vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List. https://t.co/6BH5rdTHVT
