A seabird with white head, yellow beak, grey body, and black wing-tips sitting on dark grey-brown rocks, looking to camera left, its back to the viewer. The seabird is seen from slightly above.

A Common #Murre on the cliffs of Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve off Placentia Bay in #Newfoundland. #Seabirds #Nature #NaturePhotography #Travel #TravelPhotography #BirdPhotography #Canada

A seabird with a black head sitting on a rock surrounded by grass, the background grey with fog. The bird has its head turned to look to camera right.

A Northern #Gannet on the cliffs of Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve off Placentia Bay in #Newfoundland, shot using my new 150-600mm lens. #Seabirds #Nature #NaturePhotography #Travel #TravelPhotography #BirdPhotography #Canada

A white seabird, a gannet, with yellow-gold head, black eye markings, and black wingtips in flight, wings extended, as it flies toward the viewer, another gannet visible flying in the distance to camera left. At the bottom of the image is a collection of other gannets sitting on their nesting spot. The background is grey with thick fog.

A #razorbill on the cliffs of Cape St. Mary's Ecological Preserve off Placentia Bay in Newfoundland. One of many shots I will be posting from our recent trip to #Newfoundland. #Travel #Seabirds #Photography #BirdPhotography #WildlifePhotography

A seabird with a black head and back, and white chest, sitting on, and slightly behind, a rock covered in golden lichen, looking straight a the viewer. There is a white band along its wings, across its eyes, and down the sides of its bill. The background is a foggy grey.

I don't think I've ever seen an osprey at such a low altitude.

The sun was low when we left Hafnarholmi harbour, where the puffin colony in East Iceland is located, last month. If you zoomed in, you'd be able to see some dots that are mostly puffins floating on the water, and also a few mid-air. It was a great visit.

Dramatic, cloudy skies with some sun rays trying to get through, over a fjord with mountains in the background partly obscured by the ouds and a small harbour.

New publication in Methods in Ecology and Evolution

Chimienti et al. Reviewing seas of data: Integrating image-based bio-logging and artificial intelligence to enhance marine conservation

#biologging #ai #ecology #seabirds

Examples of challenges encountered in image-based bio-logging (both camera and microsonar tags): Imbalanced light conditions, low contrast, blur, overexposure, small and clustered targets, scalability and target size

For those looking for a PhD and interested in marine mammal and seabirds ecology, we have an interesting PhD position (fully funded) available. We are looking for someone with quantitative and #rstats skills.

🔊 Sound on!
Seabird breeding season is in full swing on the Braunann mór (The big seastack) at the Cliffs of Moher. A noisy spot, with over 6,000 birds coming and going as they feed their chicks. Mostly Guillemots and Kittiwakes with some Razorbills and Shags scattered amongst them.
County Clare, Ireland.

The paper is fascinating:

“Albatross movement suggests sensitivity to infrasound cues at sea”
Natasha Gillies et al. 2023
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2218679120

And the data consists of sea sound measurements and albatross GPS tracking over 5 years.

Forget this "You can do it if you put your mind to it" bollox. Some things are just impossible for some people. Identifying Gull species is one. If you ask an expert why that one is a Herring Gull and that one is a Common Gull you will be there for a month. What they are trying to say is "Because it is - ok?". So people, which is which? Punters with my surname are barred from answering. #Ornithology #Seabirds #Gulls #Nature
