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 💙

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?
