Results from the 2023 #StKilda Gannet census are to be published in the December issue of #ScottishBirds, revealing relative stability in what is once again the world's largest colony, despite fears that #HPAI may have had a greater impact on the population #NTSSeabirds @scottishbirding.bsky.social

This smart adult Ring-billed Gull was a fabulous find this #SuperSeabirdSunday on #StKilda by @rspbscience.bsky.social researcher Brennig! Our first American vagrant of the season, and only a second record for the island after one in 2018. @hebridesbirds.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social
intimate views of the #StKilda Gannet colony are a rare privilege, due mainly to difficult access, but we were able to land on Boreray a couple of weeks ago in order to conduct a census, for which the results will be shared when analysed. Glorious seabirds! 😍 #SuperSeabirdSunday #NTSSeabirds
Pufflings first weigh-in on #stkilda part of long term puffin monitoring. #SuperSeabirdSunday #NTSseabirds @stkildawhs.bsky.social
