Greg & Jinx did a fantastic job of demonstrating how effective they are at detecting rats on seabird islands Welsh Parliament today. #biosecurity tools like this are key to protecting seabirds and increasing their resilience to the other threats they face.

Kingfisher in the morning light…. been treated to some fab views through our office window this week! RSPB Newport Wetlands

Lovely morning at RSPB Newport Wetlands with the otter, weasel and to many waders ducks and Reed bunting to count but did come across these beautiful bearded tits.

And we a-GO with #Swift season 2023! 🥳 They've been whizzing around for a couple of days but only now has the first one truly come home: the male of box 1. He has been with us since 2016 and is at least 9 years old. These birds blow my mind. Where has he been these past months?

One of the first guillemots successfully fledging tonight. No.75 from Dense plot with its first taste of the sea

First proper westerly wind in ages. Recording sheets tied down, hat stapled to head, binoculars rammed in eye sockets. But the Razorbills are wind dancing a metre away. The best auk, surely? Discuss The Seabird Group UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology David Steel Former NatureScot account RSPB

Kittiwakes generally rear one or two chicks on the Isle of May but we see a few broods of three. These chicks have a way to go before fledging but so far so good. ⁦UKCEHseabirds⁩ ⁦David Steel⁩ ⁦Former NatureScot account⁩ #seabirds

The Isle of May has seen a good number of young Guillemot chicks leave the island in recent days, heading out to the open sea with their fathers, like the one in the video. The full story is on the blog: isleofmaynnr.wordpress.com
