Colony size data are important for many aspects of #science & #conservation . Our work seeks to understand how competition (along with other things) drives individuals to specialise in feeding behaviours, & colony size is a great proxy for competition from neighbouring birds. 2/2

Most of my #FalklandsShags study colonies are counted from the ground but some are just *too* big. UAVs are useful for photographing big flat colonies, so I can now slowly count our biggest colony, one bird at a time, from the comfort of home. Any guesses on final colony size? 1/

Congrats to QUADRAT PhD researcher Emmy Geography & Environment | University of Aberdeen School of Geosciences, University of Aberdeen for her first peer-reviewed paper on #rewilding and policy in Britain.

After 2 days of travel I’m finally home after field season #2. Over 2 months we tagged 64 #FalklandsShags across 4 field sites, collected 109 diet samples, counted 17 colonies, gave 1 radio interview & 1 presentation. Lots of exciting data to analyse next (after a lot of sleep)!

📢New paper out on #rewilding in British #policy documents Scottish Geographical Journal led by Emma Cary

In a 🌰-shell:
➡️'rewilding' as a term occurs rarely
➡️understandings differ across policy contexts
➡️policy engages via case studies
