#BOUasm24 #SESH4 ReSCUE will review methods, collate, collect and integrate data to generate new flight height distributions & reduce uncertainty in collision risk modelling, investigate mitigation & consider cost-benefit for offshore wind. Project tools launch 2027.

#BOUasm24 #SESH4 Under development - OWSAT is a standardised record of EIA & HRA for efficient presentation and review of assessments. Best practice is incorporated, but the tool is flexible. Outputs are iterative & auditable. Final versions act as a data store. Seeking testers!

Using tools like GPS and Digital Aerial Survey, we can monitoring changes in bird distribution and movements within wind farms, showing how they respond to the presence of turbines #BOUasm24

New paper: We investigated kittiwake avoidance/attraction responses to three OWFs in the North Sea at macro-scale (0-4km) and to individual turbines (meso-scale). Results indicate slight attraction to the OWF boundary, but avoidance of individual turbines link.springer.com/article/10.100…

.@LilaBuckingham presents an individual based model of effects of displacement from #offshorewind farms on #seabirds at #CoimbraSeabirds conference. One of the clearest explanations of sub-lethal effects of #offshorewind that you could hope to hear.

We were delighted to join a #TyneKittiwake ringing day at Saltmeadows Tower last Friday. Huge thanks to ringers Andy (@andyrick_birds) and Ian, and @Gateshead, for letting us document the day! Read all about the reasons for ringing our urban seafarers at wildintrigue.co.uk/tyne-kittiwake…

Beautiful to see a SailBuoy collecting data on fish & oceanography alongside our murre GPS tracks. After 20+ years trying to get a boat to measure prey + predator simultaneously in the #Arctic, @hentatisundberg has finally done it! #ornithology

We've noticed way more auks in poor feather condition this season. Particularly Razorbills with rump areas worn down to the 'undercoat'.Also this Guillemot with tail feathers nothing more than the shafts.Presumably further signs of poor feeding conditions during the moult period.

Isle of May puffin count is out. Good news is the coynt is up from 2017, but cause for concern as we believe a drop in last couple years

Numbers of #puffins on the Isle of May have increased by around a third since 2017, a count by @NatureScot & @UKCEHseabirds has shown Scientists estimate there are now ~52,000 occupied puffin burrows on the island, a nature reserve in Firth of Forth ceh.ac.uk/press/puffin-n…

Finally, the first Kittiwake egg to complete the set for our main study species. A week later than last year and 8 days later than the long term average. Let's hope there is food around in a month when they start hatching. @UK_CEH @NatureScot @SteelySeabirder @TheSeabirdGroup

What has happened to all the Isle of May guillemots? The first egg was the latest ever but adjusting for that we should still be peak laying now and the cliffs are terrifyingly empty. Even those that have laid don't seem committed and are losing their eggs at an alarming rate.1/2

Devastating scenes from Hornøya. several hundreds oiled #seabirds Mainly auks, but also Kittiwakes, gulls and shags. No source detected, but strong easterly winds suggest potential spill come from east. Worst scenario now - beginning of breeding season

Several #seabird species, especially common guillemots and #puffins in the SEAPOP-colony Hornøya, are currently affected by an #oilspill. The source of the oil is unknown. Article in Norwegian - pictures speaking for themselves #pollution nrk.no/tromsogfinnmar…

Focus on Mars Bay Sooty #terns today with @AIGConservation and @oxford_brookes Drone survey in both spectral and thermal mode and timelapse camera deployment for #AI count training data. The colony is estimated to be 1/4 million breeding pairs strong. Project funded by @UKBCFs

The sound of silence. In less than four decades more than 80% of #kittiwakes breeding on the Norwegian mainland have disappeared. The coast has fallen silent. Historical and current photos side by side illustrate the dramatic declines👇 See more here: nina.no/Om-NINA/Aktuel…
