Also arriving late on the scene are the Fulmar chicks, which have been appearing since 30th June. It's hard to get a glimpse as the parents keep them well hidden at this stage, but just occasionally one peeps out to say hello

🕊️ Today is #WorldSeabirdDay, marking the 1844 extinction of the Great Auk. Seabirds still face major threats—bycatch, pollution & habitat loss. Just weeks ago, #WorldAlbatrossDay reminded us: thousands of seabirds die yearly in fisheries. Let’s act. 🌊🐦 #ACAP

Can’t wait for this conversation

You can't, on one hand, promote intensive farming policies that drench ALL our peatlands in ammonia, slowly killing them, and at same time celebrate their biodiversity and carbon sequestration Or can you? Welcome to Daera Doublespeak #WorldPeatlandsDay https://t.co/0LVPn5JYbY

Hard to believe but today marks the 8 year anniversary of free soloing el cap! Time flies. I’m still so grateful to the whole team for working on the climb with me and documenting it in the film. It was such an all star crew and such a great adventure (though obviously stressful

A stunning razorbill I captured today at Rathlin West Light Seabird Centre ✨ @BBCSpringwatch 🪶

🎉 PUFFIN PUFFIN PUFFIN 🎉 Windy, wet and cold out here currently, but what a breathtaking scene! Gazillions of Guillemots and Razorbills, and very briefly our first Puffin of the year 🥳

I’ve been prepping so hard for this one! Beyond excited to talk at the launch of the new Seabird Report 🤍🪶🙏🏻

Delighted to be doing an event later this month with the awe-inspiring Kerri! 🤍

Here's our view from Northern Ireland:

#StormÉowyn is what happens when you pack the climate system with energy. 2024 was the hottest year humans have ever recorded. Scientists say it is likely the hottest year in over 100,000 years

Maybe run this past all the people living in Ireland , Northern Ireland and Scotland tomorrow night after Storm Eowyn has done its worst . . . or all those of us who won’t get any flood/storm damage insurance ever again for our homes and businesses

Yesssssss, it's what we've been waiting for - our favourite birds are back on the cliffs!!! A good scattering of Common Guillemots present today, and more out on the sea. Also loads of Fulmars on their ledges and circling around

For the final session of our #BlueHorizons2025 conference we invite Libby Keatley, QUB, Ruby Free, QUB, and Jane Clarke, OEP, to share their knowledge on invertebrate DNA barcoding, cetacean protection, and how we hold the government to account in the marine environment.

Whether you’re interested in understanding more about the book creation process, or want to gain some writing skills for all aspects of life - this workshop will be an exciting space to learn something new and connect with likeminded people. 📖This is an inclusive event for all!
