New research has shown that this googly-eyed scarecrow can help save threatened seabirds from getting caught in fishing nets by around two thirds!

“Every year an estimated 95,000 #seabirds, including Razorbills and Guillemots, are accidentally caught in nets off European coasts.”

“But simple deterrents tested by Cornish fishers and devised by scientists and the RSPB have been shown to reduce the toll by about two-thirds.”

56% of breeding success records submitted to the SMP for 2026 are from sites in England! If you have records from any SMP-covered country, please submit them by October 31st. #Seabirds @btobirds.bsky.social @jncc.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social

Today I’m excited to be at #BOUasm26 to talk about the impact of extreme climatic events (ECEs) on seasonal migration in European shags!

A really great article by @lisasgardiner.bsky.social on some of the research on tropical #seabirds that we've been doing over the last few years 🐦🐟

Did you know some UK-breeding Lesser Black-backed Gulls are migratory? In autumn, they head to Spain, Portugal, and North and West Africa to winter. Could individuals you've monitored be among those heading south? #Seabirds @btobirds.bsky.social @jncc.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social

Seems the bird of the day's theme is #Seabirds today. Well let me oblige...

A bit late in the day, but I've just realized I can recycle this for today's #BirdOfTheDay themes, which are #Seabirds; alternative theme #Airborne.
