Today #biosecurity in #Ventotene #cameratrapping #invasivespecies

1st chick of Cory's #shearwaters in #MontañaClara #CanaryIslads 😍 After incubation bouts & foraging trips that last 10-25 days, at that point #shearwaters sharply shorten their foraging trips to feed the chick every few days 🎥Irati Az Nina da Rocha 🌸 The Great Miss Y 🌈 IRBioUB

Biosecurity is for Life!!

The 700,000 Manx shearwater breeding on Skomer Island impressed Udruga Biom & Sunce today as yelkouan & scopoli’s shearwaters they study in Croatia found in much smaller no.’s. Brilliant to see #biosecurity in place on & off island & on the boat ensuring these birds are protected

Happy Wader Wednesday! (Not a thing but I’m going with it…) The bar-tailed godwit is heading out for some midweek refreshments. #waders #birds #TwitterNatureCommunity #wildlife

New paper by Marta Cruz-Flores 🇺🇦 in STOTEN showing the rise in #SeaSurfaceTemperature results in a decrease of Bulwer's #petrel survival and suggesting that even under most optimistic IPCC scenarios, climate change will impact tropical #seabirds survival sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Yet another study showing that invertebrate abundance and vegetation growth are highly related, and might justify the approximation of prey availability for insectivorous open #grassland #birds by vegetation measures and #remotesensing.Dan Chamberlain @MermillonCamil1

They're growing fast! One of the Storm-petrel chicks in the artificial nestboxes here in the colony on Nólsoy. A little ball of fluff 10 days ago (8 grams) and 24.5 grams yesterday. We still have many birds incubating eggs here too - they breed so late! #StormPetrel

Great news from Tavolara!

Most of the late breeders have failed and only a few #stormies chicks are still in their nest-site in #Molene archipelago, close to fledge

Meraviglia!

After 3 years, the return of Ligea! A pretty good story. #seabirds #shearwater #rateradication ponderat.eu/schede-354-the…

It's not every day that BTO makes the front page of the tabloids, and nice to see them so concerned about the status of the red-listed bird-that-cannot-be-named. To take part in this nice straightforward survey follow the link: bto.org/our-science/pr…

Great days and lots of motivation for doing more, and always better! So nice to be back in Scot!

Linkin' Parks. Eight of them, if I counted well, from Monterosso to Gaeta. All the tracks of 20 #scopolisshearwater in 1 month, from #Pianosa colony. Chicks are hatching in these days, all mums and dads must now stay close to home.

The Day!!! Thrilled about this book. Too much to say. Meanwhile I get my thoughts together, you just order this incredible book!!! :)))
