We're excited to be hosting this project on Seabird Watch, to help improve monitoring of UK cormorants! Big thanks to our PhD student Alice Edney for setting it up online 💻
Visit seabirdwatch.org to get involved!📸🥚🐣

This work was possible thanks to grant funding from The Seabird Group and The SOC. A huge thank you to Alice Edney for @SeabirdWatch support. This project would not be possible without landowner cooperation and boating to the island, for which I am very grateful.
Great to see kittiwakes repopulating their coastal nest sites across Scotland. Here's hoping this breeding season is a successful one for this incredible gull species.

This morning our rangers were monitoring Staffa's black guillemots, also known as tysties. Happy to report we still have a healthy population of these endearing birds - love their big red clown feet!

A time-lapse camera was installed this week to monitor Kittiwakes on Dùn. An ongoing collaboration between Seabird Watch and National Trust for Scotland, the images will provide valuable data on breeding success and will involve #citizenscientists through The Zooniverse website. #NTSSeabirds .
We are thrilled to see this camera finally up and running and cannot wait to share the images with our #citsci volunteers. Thanks craig nisbet, Alice Edney and Sally Kunzig for pulling this off
Ever looked at a bar chart and thought “there must be a better way of plotting this data…”? Look no further than sea stack plots!

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/
