Silent bird cliffs. Many Norwegian #seabird populations have declined significantly in recent decades. In this
NINA naturforskning #scicomm project we have illustrated the dramatic changes. The article is in Norwegian but the photos speak for themselves.

Extremely powerful depictions of decline of #seabirds in Norway through historical and current photos laid side by side by Signe Christensen-Dalsgaard and colleagues.

Really cool paper by Andrea Flack @anflack.bsky.social’s group providing strong support for the “exploration-refinement” hypothesis - the idea that learning shapes how individual migration routes develop in long-lived species.

Just under a week left to apply for our next round of training grants! The Seabird Group

See our newsletter for inspiration from last year's recipients ⬇️✨

Some neglected casualites of recent winter storms 🌧️ in California are seabirds.

On 1 mile of beach in Monterey, I counted >120 dead birds, mostly (80) common murres but also western grebes, cormorants, gulls, common loons and a rhino auklet.

Is this happening elsewhere?

Would you like to come and work at Bird Island?!

We are now recruiting for Zoological Field Assistants.
We are looking for people to come and monitor seals, penguins and petrels, and albatross!
