Alongside the research, the team is leading a #CitizenScience project: collecting underwater #Footage of seabirds (e.g. #Cormorants, #Shags, #Shearwaters) to study hunting strategies, diving depth and interactions.

The Fossil Bay Lookout on the Tasman Peninsula is a great place to seawatch from shore. If the wind is right you can see Shy #Albatrosses, Short-tailed #Shearwaters and other #seabirds from shore. And of course lot of these.. Kelp #Gulls. #BirdingAustralia #BirdingTasmania #black&white

Apologies for (another) sad photo. If you live between #Wollongong & #Ulladulla, can you please send us a DM - #birds are washing up on beaches in this area. We need help recording where, how many & which species

Scientists Are Uncovering Microplastics in Backyard Birds The tiny particles are widespread in waterbirds around the world. Now, research is finding them in neighborhood songbirds, too.

"In birds, #microplastics have been found to accumulate in the lungs of herons, block the intestinal tracts of Ospreys, and scar the stomachs of shearwaters..."

Unfortunately, we’re now getting records of #BeachedBirds further north, between #Eden and #Newcastle. It’s hot, so people are on beaches - we need to know what they’re seeing 🐦🙏 #CitizenScience #shearwaters #seabirds

🚨We need your help🚨 #Shearwaters are washing up on beaches, particularly around #Tathra. Some #seabirds are still alive. Please do not touch the #birds. Instead, take photos & submit your observations to our new portal ➡️ adriftlab.org/beached-bird... (also, please share this) #ornithology #OzBirds

One of our PhD students @alixdejersey.bsky.social submitted her #PhDThesis yesterday 🎉 Thankfully we’ve got heaps of papers to selfishly keep DOCTOR de Jersey around, and immersed in the world of #shearwaters & #plastics #phddone

A passenger aboard the ‘Spirit of #Tasmania’ recorded this video yesterday as the ferry entered the #BassStrait

The seas were ~6 m & wind gusting ~75 km/hr. It is glorious to see flocks of Short-tailed #Shearwaters (just returned from the Bering Sea) absolutely in their element 🐦💨

20 #surfboards were generously donated for leading Australian artists to transform into one-of-a-kind works of art (including one featuring our beloved #shearwaters).
