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👇

Still winter in Norway, but #kittiwakes are moving into our artificial nesting structure in Rørvik 🥰.
The structure was made by Nærøysund municipality, to compensate for deterrence of kittiwakes in other parts of the town.

Calling out to people working on seabirds breeding on offshore oil installations
I would really like to get in touch with people working on the topic. I seem to remember projects shared on twitter, but can't refind tweets🤦♀️
Thanks 🙂
Monday feeling...
Wishing all a good week -
... the ones that jumped out of bed ready for the world
....... the ones where just facing the day was a major achivement
........... and the ones still not up
I believe in you ❤️
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

We want to photo-document movement of gulls around fishing vessels during the polar night….
A lot of gulls (up to 1000 + )…
In the dark…
The idea would be 1 photo every sec. or video.
Any good suggestions for IR/thermal systems that could work?
A #puffling from #Runde facing the outside world. Soon it will fledge, but hopefully we will see it back as a breeding adult some years from now.
Safe travels little one 💙

I've seldom been so happy to get attacked by a seemingly healthy breeding great skua at Runde, Norway.
So far no dead #skuas observed there, but low number of birds present in the colony. Fingers crossed the colony will be spared a #HPAI outbreak.
