Really exciting to see our #research on #plastic in #seabird nests highlighted in tonight’s episode of #Springwatch!! 😁 . You can read the study here . #TeamGull #TeamShag
Plastic is a serious issue for seabirds due to both ingestion and entanglement. This study by @scottishseabird.shows just how significant a problem it is. #Springwatch 💙.

Ever wondered how we can use #stableIsotopeAnalysis to learn about birds' feeding habitats & consistency in behaviours? . ✨New blog post ✨explains how I'm using this technique to gain greater insight into the lives of #FalklandsShags .

Really pleased to have been awarded overall runner-up in this year's @BritishEcolSoc #CapturingEcology competition with a snap from my honeymoon last autumn 🥳🌸
@RippleEnergy @Love_plants @DamienEsquerre The overall runner-up is Lanterns by Danni Thompson, @scottishseabird. Captured during a walk through the high-altitude forest in Ecuador, Danni photographed a perfectly arched branch of Abutilon megapotamicum, showing flowers at various stages of life.🌸

Almost through the first full day of #CoimbraSeabirds. What a fab bunch of clear & interesting talks, & beautiful posters lining the walls. If you want to learn more about #FalklandsShags come see my poster at stand #35
Excited to be in Portugal for #CoimbraSeabirds 🥳 .Looking forward to seeing everyone & presenting a poster with first #biologging analyses of my PhD - how repeatable are #FalklandsShags foraging behaviours? Are more birds specialising in larger colonies to avoid competition?
