Coming tomorrow - the SOC podcast: David Steel talks about AI in our seabird colonies, what spp are most concerning, and if we can stay hopeful. After, he tells us where he'd go in a time machine, shares the best birding advice he's had, and what goes into a birding room 101...

It is with a heavy heart we have to announce that avain flu has been confirmed in northern gannets on RSPB Grassholm, the 3rd largest colony in the world for this species. We will keep you updated as we learn more. See blog link for details #avianflu community.rspb.org.uk/placestovisit/…

NEW PAPER in #conservation highlights the possible cause of #eradication failure on Gough Island Restoration - too many hungry slugs eating too much bait? buff.ly/3QrMrHM

#AvianInfluenza in #seabird at #CorkSeabirds Emma Philip showcased the impressing monitoring effort led by Former NatureScot account, and shared insights on the decision-making process implemented in real time to protect birds and people, while keeping learning for the future.

Scotland supports 60% (9,600 pairs) of the world breeding population of great #skua. With 85% reductions in AOTs at some Scottish colonies, >1400 birds reported dead on #Foula alone & this visible reduction in passage rates - it’s an extremely worrying picture #AvianInfluenza

Looks like highly pathogenic avian influenza has now reached Irish gannet colonies. Loads of dead birds sighted on aerial surveys in the southwest. ⁦Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC⁩ ⁦MaREI⁩ ⁦@Dept_ECC⁩ ⁦Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage⁩

More mixed news from #Gough as the figures & footage are in from the MacGillivray’s Prions nesting in Prion Cave. In a nutshell: good breeding success this year, but we now have evidence of a resumption in mouse predation 💔 Full details in our NEW BLOG tinyurl.com/3yzmtem3

NEWS: Evidence that Northern Gannets can recover from bird flu & unusual black iris coloration is linked to a previous HPAIV infection Impact of mortality also studied at Bass Rock, found adult survival last yr 42% lower than earlier average rspb.org.uk/about-the-rspb… #Ornithology

It was with great excitement that we welcomed the #sirdavidattenborough to Hirta for the first time yesterday! It was a chance for the crew to visit and to catch up with @derrenfox from @RSPB ; currently studying Leach's storm petrels @NTS St Kilda Club British Antarctic Survey 🐧
