🪶 #Seabirds can cross entire #ocean basins every year. Because of these long-distance movements, protecting them can be challenging and we need to understand what are important places for them. To do so, we compiled an important #tracking dataset to map their spatial distribution in the #Atlantic.

A great tutorial by Mike McKee explaining how he edits his sea watching videos (and worth a look at his website for Cornish Soft-plumaged Petrel, Scopoli’s Shearwater, etc.) #seabirds #seawatching

Wings to the Sun!

After leaving the water, it stood quietly on the shore. Then, slowly, the wings began to open. Not for flight, but for the warmth of the sun.
