Looking forward to attending the #WorldSeabirdConference in #Hobart next week 🌊 I'll also be going to the ECR event on Wednesday if anyone wants to talk animal behaviour. It doesn't have to be about ducks! 🦆

Picture of a pair of Falkland Steamer Ducks coming out of the sea onto a rock displaying territorial behaviour. The caption reads 'What does it cost to be an aggressive flightless Falkland Steamer Duck?'

Last week I went to Hobart to take part in Beaker Street for the most wholesome weekend 🦭 With +100 scientists, I set up shop in a pub to talk all things science and importantly, show that scientists are humans too 🍻👩‍🔬 This clip makes me cringe but highlights #SciComm has to start from somewhere 🫣

Question: do I know anyone near Nantes who would be willing to pick up a dead gull-billed tern and its logger? L49 has sadly been killed near a road. I’d be very grateful for a picture and the logger and would of course reimburse postage.

Incredibly grateful to have led another stint of fieldwork studying the Falkland Steamer Duck. This time investigating dive behaviour, habitat use and energetics! What a bold, hardy and splendid species 🦆 watch this space
