Had the privilege today of monitoring the nestboxes at @rspbcymru.bsky.social ’s Gwenffrwd Dinas reserve with the Fledgemore Nest Recording Group. Pied Flys appear to be back in good numbers with, hopefully, more to come. First eggs expected next week. #NestRecordScheme #Ringing #BirdingWales

Our paper on the female song in Galápagos yellow warblers is now published in Animal Behavior: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... To celebrate, here is the first ever video I recorded back in 2023 of the female BzHz singing!

On #WorldOceanDay, let us all take a moment to contemplate and admire the Best Oceanic Bird In The World*, the European Storm-Petrel. * I will not be taking questions at this time.

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

The White-bellied Storm-petrel trip also gave up one of two deployed GLS loggers. 1st ever track. Aust. to Chile (10K km) and down towards the Antarctica coast. Unprecedented?! So hard to access remote colonies with over 80 island-days available (2009-2025) but only 8 landings possible.#Seabirds 🪶

Another fantastic ‘Poyser’ monograph, by @robthomasbirds.bsky.social. My favourite fact so far? Storm-petrel chicks are each weighed in their own individual cupcake holder to minimise the risk of disease transmission. Excellent!

Think #stormpetrels just wing it to find a meal? 🍽️ Think again! Finally, our study is out: these tiny #seabirds use ocean dynamics to find #foraging grounds in the #WestMed. And guess what? Well-placed #MPAs help keep their ‘favorite restaurants’ open.🧑‍🍳 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Amazing to receive updates from Jens-kjeld on our Storm-petrels in their nestboxes on Nólsoy (Faroe Islands). Amidst the snow and blizzards, the parents keep visiting to feed these fluff balls, and we now only have two chicks left to fledge! I really hope they make it... #seabirds #stormpetrels
