- Galápagos sea lions seem to be regularly suckling from their mothers way above the usual weaning age (up to age 16!) when they are already reproductively active themselves 😲 Some new findings that mess with what we know & pose more questions than they answer www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

- #SeabirdSeptember Another season complete with the offshore kittiwake colony I've known for 3 years now. Productivity and survival looking good, but we'll wait for the camera data to tell us more. Love to see them thriving and notice the same birds turn up on the same ledges year on year 🥰

- Fully devastating footage 💔
- Listen up anyone working in the Irish Sea this summer! We tagged a bunch of kitts in Liverpool Bay and want to gather as many resightings as we can. If you spot these yellow colour rings please give me a shout (dla205@exeter.ac.uk) 🐦💍💛 (Modelled by our very own VIP 😌👑) #Seabirds #IrishSea
- They are particularly likely to show up in or around colonies in North Wales, the Isle of Man, the SW Scottish coast, Lancashire or Cumbria 🗺️ They have a yellow ring plus a secondary coloured ring on the other leg - we'd love to know the yellow code, plus secondary colour. And photos if poss! 📷
- Really interesting chat on #seabird #research careers from @theseabirdgroup.bsky.social this morning 🕊️🐥🐧 Thanks everyone on the panel for your time, some food for thought 🙏✨

- This makes fascinating reading. I've always felt uncomfortable with these encounters (despite finding orcas the most fascinating animal on the planet) and though I love close, incredible wildlife encounters, it's just never really sat right.. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
