Young Cormorant
Still young, still learning.
He stands alone by the water, watching a world that is much bigger than him. Soon, instinct will take over, and he will know exactly where he belongs.

We've had over 1,000 colony count submissions to the SMP in 2026 so far! Of the 23 seabird species with data, Fulmar has the most.
Remember to submit your colony count and breeding success data before the October 31st data deadline. #Seabirds @btobirds.bsky.social @jncc.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social

It felt like the first day of autumn at Girdle Ness in a strong southerly wind. Two Great Shearwaters went through, the second lingering to feed for 20 minutes. Also, 15 Sooty Shearwaters, 42 Manx Shearwaters, 11 Arctic Skuas, 5 Great Skuas.

Back to #SuperSeabirdSunday!
Last weekend @unsociable-lapwing.bsky.social and I went to Redcar Tarn (UK) to see a Yellow-Legged Gull that had been hanging around there for a week.

A Quiet Drink
A black-winged stilt stops at the water’s edge for a drink, bending its long legs and lowering its head to the surface. A simple moment, repeated again and again, with its reflection following every movement.

It wasn't just whales - plenty of tubenoses to enjoy on our boat trip out of Gloucester, Mass, including 325 (!) Wilson's Sorm-petrels... more here: northernrustic.blogspot.com/2026/09/tube...
We’re now waiting for the data from these two devices to discover where these birds have been over the past two years! 🔍💾
Stay tuned for what the data reveal!
Standing Through the Rain
A Black-winged Stilt standing quietly in the open, almost lost in the light and rain. Long legs, simple lines, and a lot of empty space around it.

It's also #SuperSeabirdSunday, and since I'm excited to return to the ones on Lundy in a few weeks, here's a Razorbill from last year's trip. I love how the yellow of the moss/lichen matches the yellow of the beak.
Today is a medley between the #BirdOfTheDay theme #StaringRightAtYou and #SuperSeabirdSunday. A Razorbill and an Atlantic Puffin from last year's trip to Lundy 🇬🇧. So excited to go back in July!
Today's #BirdOfTheDay alternate is #seabirds. Here are a few happy Atlantic #Puffins, my favourite bird I've seen, bobbing up and down on the waves.
