Getting ready for the next breeding season of white-faced storm #petrel in #SelvagemGrande! Nest boxes are installed and waiting for the new tenants! #seabirds #ornithology #fieldwork #PhD Atlantic Migrants

Last days in #SelvagemGrande! Now I know how #seabirds feel when walking on land! Waddling through the colony of white-faced storm #petrel to estimate the number of burrows occupied this breeding season #ornithology #fieldwork #PhD Atlantic Migrants

Field work on #SelvagemGrande is over for the year! Ready for next season: ✔️nest boxes installed - ready to welcome white-faced storm #petrels ✔️breeding success of Cory's #shearwaters assessed; adults tagged so we can follow their #migration & chicks ringed #seabirds

Around this day Cory's #Shearwaters from #SelvagemGrande begin to reach their most popular wintering site - the #BenguelaCurrent. Here's last year’s #migration of an adult male, ringed as a chick in 2008, after his first breeding attempt. Where's he gone this year? #seabirds

The first field season of 2019 is on! #wadersofbijagos teams of @FC_UL and Universidade Aveiro travelling together with ibap guine-bissau from Bissau to attend the first steering committee meeting of the project, held in Bubaque. Collaboration is the lead word! @CESAM_Univ @MavaFdn PRCM

Grateful to be part of this long author list in this brilliant paper! White-faced #stormpetrel is among the 77 species for which exposure risk to plastic has been assessed. Congratulations Beth Clark and team. 🔗nature.com/articles/s4146… #plastic #conservation #seabirds

We use endoscope cameras to minimize disturbance while checking #stormies burrow attendance. Some don’t even realize that we are sneaking their lives 👀 SEAGHOSTS

Finally, 2nd paper of our small #vulture project is out! #GuineaBissau is among the most important #WestAfrica stronghold for #HoodedVultures. Protect these populations is of top priority!

Field season on Selvagem Grande is on! Our long-term study of Cory's #Shearwater is underway and we are starting a new project with White-faced #StormPetrel which is already producing exciting results! More new coming soon #seabirds
