It has been a windy few days. Razorbills have been wind dancing in the updrafts almost at arms reach

Been dodging a few showers today. Looks like we have a pot of gold on one of our guillemot monitoring plots

The Puffin and the Sun Dog.

The SMP is lacking breeding success data. In 2025, colony count data were submitted for 861 sites, but breeding success data were submitted for just 133 sites. If you can monitor seabird breeding success, email us at smp@bto.org! #seabirds @btobirds.bsky.social @jncc.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social

The squallor of a guillemot colony. After overnight rain some of the ledges are a quagmire. Got to admire their resilience to lie in this for hours at a time

Feeding time for these wee Shag chicks on the Isle of May today 🐣 #seabirds #superseabirdsunday #fieldwork #ornithology

Shags have had a tough few years on the Isle of May following a large mortality event in winter 2023/24 and a smaller event earlier this year. Thankfully both 2024 and 2025 saw above average productivity, so hopefully the population can recover in time. 🐣 #IsleOfMay #seabirds #ornithology

The 2025 #seabird breeding results are in from the Isle of May: Razorbills fledged 0.63 chicks per pair - right on the long-term average. Even better: 91.2% survival, well above the long-term average of 83.9% Strong productivity + excellent survival = a really encouraging year for #Razorbills. 💚

Lots of reports of dead seabirds in the aftermath of recent storms. Please keep an eye out for any dead colour ringed Shags and send details to shags@ceh.ac.uk #seabirds #ornithology #winterstorm

Join us! A great opportunity to join the @ukcehseabirds.bsky.social team working on the Isle of May. Great team, great place, great birds... what more could you want?! #seabird #fieldwork #job #ornithology #superseabirdsunday

Epic day yesterday with watches, puffin fledgling rescue, puffin chick weighing, kittiwake logger deployment and puffin netting from 5am to 9.30pm. Similar vein today with everyone out for 5am with mire kittiwake watches and concurrent puffin netting. We'll have a fair bit of seabird data by the end

Thanks to all at ECOTOP & @theseabirdgroup.bsky.social for organising such a great conference. Lovely to catch up with old friends, meet new ones, & learn more about the amazing breadth of seabird research going on around the world!! Also enjoyed my first poster session #CoimbraSeabirds

A great turn-out for the 16th International #Seabird Group Conference! 🥳 #CoimbraSeabirds We’re only halfway through, and already had lots of fantastic seabird presentations! Huge thanks to the ECOTOP team at the University of Coimbra for putting on such an excellent event 🤩

Lots of Puffins and Kittiwakes around to welcome us back to the Isle of May for the summer field season. Great to be back on the island and see it start springing back to life after a tough winter for many of our #seabirds. #island #fieldwork #scotland
