Huge congrats to volunteer editor Dr Viola Ross-Smith (dormant) on getting the latest The Seabird Group journal out! It’s a storm petrel bonanza and contains my new paper but the highlight for me has got to be this whole page of RSPB Ramsey Island wonder dog, Dewi!

Great to see all the posts with the latest The Seabird Group journal :). Several Cardiff University Team Stormies papers - Sarah Long 1st, 1st-author paper detailing a fantastic #habitat #map :) & Zoe Deakin on acoustic monitoring. Looking forward to seeing my hard copy once home! #isletstormies

✨SEABIRD 33 is here! ✨ These new papers span guillemot eggs 🥚, gull harnesses 🪢, scent dogs 🐶, habitat mapping 🗺️, storm petrel discoveries & declines 🔈, foraging puffins 🐟, barnacles on loggers 🦀, skua migrations 🌬️, and more! seabirdgroup.org.uk/seabird-33 #SeabirdJournal

New in SEABIRD 33: 'Teaching old dogs and young dogs new tricks: canine scent detection for seabird monitoring', Mark Bolton et al. #SeabirdJournal 🐶 seabirdgroup.org.uk/seabird-33-35

New in SEABIRD 33: 'Decline of Leach’s Storm Petrels Hydrobates leucorhous at the largest colonies in the northeast Atlantic', Zoe Deakin et al. #SeabirdJournal 🔉 seabirdgroup.org.uk/seabird-33-74

Leach's storm petrels were surveyed using acoustic playback, with results indicating declines in breeding populations at St Kilda, Scotland and Elliðaey, Iceland. These results mean this species is now on the UK Red List. #SeabirdJournal: seabirdgroup.org.uk/seabird-33-74 🔉

Excited to shared my first first-author paper, published in the journal ‘Seabird’! We categorised the floral communities and created a highly detailed habitat map of Praia Islet, a tiny seabird reserve in the Azores. Summary 🧵⬇️ (1/6)

For #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience, meet some of my wonderful research group. Zoe Deakin is studying population change and the breeding/ foraging ecology of storm petrels (Leach's and European) in the North Atlantic as part of Cardiff University Team Stormies Cardiff University School of Biosciences

For #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience, meet some of my wonderful research group. Dr Hannah Hereward is studying the ecology and conservation of two species of Storm-petrels (Band-rumped and the endemic Monteiro's SP) on the Azores, as part of Cardiff University Team Stormies Cardiff University School of Biosciences

For #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience, meet some of my wonderful research group. Annalea Beard is studying the ecology and conservation of Band-rumped Storm-petrels and Red-tailed Tropicbirds on St Helena, as part of Cardiff University Team Stormies Cardiff University School of Biosciences

For #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience, meet some of my wonderful research group. Sarah Morgan Nikolas is studying the parasite communities of seabird communities, as part of Cardiff University Team Stormies Cardiff University School of Biosciences. Sarah also runs Eco-ExploreEducation within eco-explore.co.uk

For #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience, meet some of my wonderful research group. Lucy Rowley is using DNA-based methods to study various topics in #ornithology including Storm-petrel migration/dispersal Cardiff University Team Stormies, Parakeets, and (coming soon?!) re-introduced Eagles.

New BOU 👩🏻‍🏫👨🏿‍🏫🧕🏽👳🏽‍♂️ 🌈 blog from former Cardiff University Team Stormies PhD student Alex McCubbin who studied the MHC genes of two species of storm petrel in the Azores 🙌 #TeamStormie

A bunch of fantastic #seabird #fieldwork roles just advertised with RSPB Science. Timelines are tight so don’t delay! If only I could be in two places at once... #ornithology

More #seabird jobs! We have FIVE fantastic Research Assistant roles tracking & monitoring #seabirds at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, Fowlsheugh & National Trust for Scotland St Abbs Senior RA bit.ly/36u9aRR & bit.ly/3LIOFzN 2 x RA bit.ly/3JNj6Ei & bit.ly/3DAAvhe | #Ornithology

1/6. #BOU2022 #SESH1. Excited to be presenting at the #BOU2022 BOU 👩🏻‍🏫👨🏿‍🏫🧕🏽👳🏽‍♂️ 🌈 #conference! Today I will be presenting some breeding phenology data from artificial #nestboxes which have been monitored across the last two decades. #ornithology #IsletStormies

Decline of Leach’s Storm Petrels at the largest colonies in the northeast Atlantic. Study suggests 68% decline on St Kilda & 40-49% on Elliðaey #OpenAccess paper by Zoe Deakin et al👉bit.ly/3rDgzpi Read the blog here👉bit.ly/3xKafQI #Ornithology #Seabirds

Delighted to present an in person talk at our #OnEAwayDay22 sharing some breeding biology updates from my #PhD #IsletStormies OnE_Cardiff Cardiff University Team Stormies

Is finally out, the first paper on the diet of Monteiro's and Madeiran storm-petrels from Azores. Thank you so much to Renata Medeiros for this opportunity, and everyone involved: Joël, Zoe Deakin, @KatBoothJones, Rob Thomas, Bill and Jaime Ramos😁 bioone.org/journals/water…
