It's not every day that one gets to publish a paper with their Dad. Here it is! If you're interested in #Seabirds and community engagement, have a read. In this paper, we discuss how Newfoundlanders perceive hunting regulations. #Conservation #MarineEcology

Protecting seabirds from interactions with drones when doing wildlife surveys is important! As part of this we have been trialing propeller guards for our M350 airframe. #Seabirds #UAVs #DataScience #Drones #OffshoreWind #OnshoreWind #Scotland

#SEABIRD NEWS. Call for Symposia and workshops for #WSC4 IS OPEN! worldseabirdunion.org/world-seabir... Deadline is August 1! Reach out to WSCscience@worldseabirdunion.org for submissions or more information! #seabirds #climatechange #science #Hobart

For those in need of a smile, a reminder that one 19th-century name for a penguin was ‘arsefoot’.

Wind turbines affect local wind regime, esp. downwind from them. How that affects marine ecosystems, through wind-related features like upwelling, is something we are still learning. But aspects like surface primary productivity seem to be affected. 🧪🌊 Link: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Imagine #spying on #Seabirds from the skies with ultra high resolution from a distance well away from cliff faces. No disturbance, minimal risk of interaction with flying birds, and reproducible data! That's what we're doing right now with our new #UAVs! #Conservation #Drones #Scotland #SPAs

Who doesn't love doing boat surveys for cliff nesting #Seabirds??? So lucky to have the greatest team to work with here!

We're having the most fantastic time doing #UAV surveys for cliff nesting #Seabirds with our new #M350 drone. The images are incredible... Stay tuned for some amazing high resolution images. #Caithness #Scotland #conservation #monitoring #UAVs

Love this wee #Penguin!

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.

In this edition of #airplanesgettingeatenbyjetways we've got a LATAM Airbus A320 getting chewed on by a jetway at punta arenas airport in Southern Chile.

An early morning flight to Ushuaia leads to some whacky thoughts... in this edition of #PlanesGettingEatenByJetways we've got an Aerolineas argentinas 737... #Avgeek #penguincounting #penguins #earlymornings #Antarctica

One part of coming to #Antarctica is waiting in airports! Currently waiting for my partner in crime, Bertrand Charry to join me at Ezeiza airport in Buenos Aires. Tomorrow morning we catch a flight to Ushuaia, Arg to get on board the Greg Mortimer for ten days. #PenguinCounting #Penguins #Seabirds

Polyamory means wholly loving multiple people, not loving each one halfway. True polyamory thrives on commitment, communication, and genuine care for every partner involved. Don't settle for less than you deserve. 💜

Oceanites has been counting #penguins since 1994 and maintains the largest source of publicly accessible #penguin census records in the world which can be accessed at www.penguinmap.com. This is our 31st season and we've got some amazing operational partners! #Antarctica #PenguinCounting

So it begins... Follow along as I head off from Inverness, Scotland to the #Antarctic peninsula where I'll be once again counting #Penguins for Oceanites! First, a wee hop to London Heathrow before my long haul to Buenos Aires #PenguinCounters #Seabirds #Science #BestJob
