#StormGoretti: time to batten down the hatches in the #SouthWest, with a red weather warning for #Cornwall and the #IslesOfScilly. Our autonomous data buoys are starting to feel the effects of the storm, with our L4 buoy (about 6 miles south of Plymouth) seeing strong, near-gale winds of 33mph.

Galápagos sea lions seem to be regularly suckling from their mothers way above the usual weaning age (up to age 16!) when they are already reproductively active themselves 😲 Some new findings that mess with what we know & pose more questions than they answer www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Another day, another #auk. The Black guillemot (Cepphus grylle) is born black+fluffy, with several years before developing its bright red feet fully. These are associated with sexual maturity @2-4 y/o 👣 Black guillies are widespread in the N.hemisphere and are arguably the best #seabird 😉 #Auktober

The first paper from our #kittiwake/ oil platform work has been published! 🕊️🗼 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... 2387 AONs were recorded on 14 (28%) assets. Could equate to 16,382 across pictured assets 🔺 or 7% of UK/ Ireland population, but not currently incl. in #seabird census!

#SeabirdSeptember Another season complete with the offshore kittiwake colony I've known for 3 years now. Productivity and survival looking good, but we'll wait for the camera data to tell us more. Love to see them thriving and notice the same birds turn up on the same ledges year on year 🥰

As autumn begins & seabird season ends for another year, we've been reminiscing about the summer! We'd love to share images of #seabird fieldwork throughout September to celebrate our diverse seabird species ✨🪶 If you have one you'd like to share pls include a description & use #SeabirdSeptember! 🐦

Listen up anyone working in the Irish Sea this summer! We tagged a bunch of kitts in Liverpool Bay and want to gather as many resightings as we can. If you spot these yellow colour rings please give me a shout (dla205@exeter.ac.uk) 🐦💍💛 (Modelled by our very own VIP 😌👑) #Seabirds #IrishSea

This makes fascinating reading. I've always felt uncomfortable with these encounters (despite finding orcas the most fascinating animal on the planet) and though I love close, incredible wildlife encounters, it's just never really sat right.. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
