Exciting times on the Bounties!

The The Seabird Group has uploaded the 16th International Seabird Group Conference 2024 presentations to its website and YouTube channel. Check out this incredible resource. #CoimbraSeabirds seabirdgroup.org.uk/conference-2024

Some nice news about #seabirds and the impact (in this case a lack of) of #InvasiveSpecies. #rats #noddy #tern #ornithology

Here’s an opportunity to put your skills to work to conserve our #seabirds. Are you the right person for the job?

Are these the most beautiful #seabirds? If not, what’s your pick?

A room with a view and a pool fit for a luxury resort is the least these #penguins deserve after braving this blustering swell. #seabirdsaturday

Let’s hope this is the start of a very successful breeding colony and we see an increase in the number of these special little #seabirds venturing to our waters in years to come. #conservation #petrel

New research has developed a DNA-based method to identify #albatross and #petrels that have died in #fisheries #bycatch. This method complements existing observation tools to improve understanding of the effects of bycatch on threatened #seabirds. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

It’s Antarctica Day! ❄ We're celebrating all things Antarctica today as we mark the anniversary of the signing of the Antarctic Treaty in 1959 & its enduring principles of peace, scientific endeavour & international cooperation 🖊 More about Antarctica👉antarctica.gov.au

Despite breeding at a different time of year to other populations, the Open Bay Island/Taumaka colony of Tawaki was able to find enough food in shelf waters less than 90 kms from the breeding site. #ornithology #seabirds #penguin

A new paper has highlighted the regular presence of Aotearoa New Zealand-breeding #petrels and #albatross in South American waters during the non-breeding period. This new information will be important for #conservation planning. researchgate.net/profile/Johann…

This post highlights the consequences of lighting in coastal areas that was not planned with the needs of #seabirds in mind. #lightpollution #ALAN #petrel

Here’s a new tool for recording data during at-sea surveys. It looks great! Let us know if you’ve tried it and what you think of it. #seabirds #ornithology

What an impressive study. This work clearly shows the cost of breeding late in the breeding season for Little #Penguins. #ornithology #seabirds

A third Juan Fernández Petrel has been found on Phillip Island (Norfolk Island). These birds are a long way from their usual Chilean home, sparking speculation they may be prospecting a new colony on Phillip Is., which is already a seabird breeding hotspot facebook.com/share/p/1E3EsL…

Very bad news for Hoiho with the mainland population decline continuing. Nest numbers on the mainland have now fallen by more than 80% since the 2008/2009 breeding season.

Looking for a conference to present your work on #seabirds in the Oceania region? Look no further than Oceania Seabirds 2025! Abstract submission is open until 28 Feb & we AustralasianSeabirds have travel grants to help attend. See the website for details oceaniaseabirds2025.com

We have a new website! Head over to australasianseabirdgroup.net to check it out and find out more about the work AustralasianSeabirds is doing. #Seabirds

How do you learn about the diet of birds that forage underwater and swallow their prey below the surface too? Look at what their more easily observed friends are doing. publish.csiro.au/PC/PC24056

These birds are absolute #seabird stars around here.
