Always love seeing Sooty Shearwaters especially up close. Such sleek and elegant birds. I always find it amazing how they fly with such little energy expenditure! You could say they’re shearing the water 😂

Immature & adult Little Gulls at the ARC pit, Dungeness last week.

I'm not sure who won the argument in the end - the razorbill or the gannet.
With many seabirds now beginning to migrate to wintering grounds, there’s still some time to see them at coastal and inland sites before they depart.
Keep an eye out for adults and juveniles alike, such as this young Arctic Tern! #Seabirds @btobirds.bsky.social @jncc.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social
Jumped aboard the Leach's Petrel train this evening, with a single bird from Leasowe Gunsite...also a Grey Phalarope (west), Arctic Tern, Manx Shearwater, Razorbill, and an Osprey working its way along the coast #LeachsPetrel #wirral #osprey #UKBIRDING #seabirds
c40 Leach's Petrel flew out of the river past Crosby throughout the morning. Seemed a real lack of any other seabirds though. No Gannets, Auks or Skuas for us and only one Manxie🧐 Did get a nice fly by from a 2ndw Med gull though. #Seabirds

The Gannets were really close in at Girdle Ness today. Always a pleasure.

Over the past week, we’ve received additional colony count data from the 2026 season for 16 SMP species, including Great Skua!
If you haven’t submitted your data yet, there’s still time before the October 31st deadline. #Seabirds @btobirds.bsky.social @jncc.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social
A Tufted Puffin just off of Smith Island, WA, in the Strait of Juan de Fuca section of the Salish Sea.

Belated photos from my North Atlantic trip of a few weeks ago. These are from Alex Srdic, who has a much better camera than me. First: #seabirds. My first Great skua, then a Great shearwater (a species we see often on these trips), and a group of Manx with a Sooty shearwater visible near the middle
New paper out! Prey size shapes offspring quality! Common eider ducklings may face an increased risk of thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency when their mothers choose to feed on larger prey. #Ecology #Seabirds #MarineEcology #Eiderhttps://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0356777
The report from SEAPOP key site monitoring in 2025 is now published. Want to know more about breeding success, changes in population numbers or adult survival? It's all right there... seapop.no/en/2026/09/r...

Tracking data of more than 13,000 individuals from 44 species! Distributions of highly mobile seabirds are mapped.
Really proud of this paper. It reflects 16 years of effort of kind, compassionate humans who - despite minimal funding and overwhelming #ecogrief - did not give up 💪 #seabirds #plastics #TimeSeries
