Celebrating #WorldSeabirdDay with a Brown Pelican release! Since March, 273 Brown Pelicans have come into care. Thanks to your support and the tireless work of our team, 115 are soaring free again. Many more continue to regain their strength in the aviary. Let’s bring even more back to the skies! 🙌
Yesterday was #WorldSeabirdDay, which I spent guiding my final Puffin & Seabird Specials at the mighty #Flamborough Head.
We had the privilege of watching this Puffling exploring the outside world for the first time. Good luck, little one... (1/2)

Gone, but not forgotten. R.I.P. Great Auk #WorldSeabirdDay

It's #worldseabirdday and I'm reminded of my first encounter with a Cassin's Auklet on a pelagic boat trip out of Tofino, BC many years ago. This confiding little alcid allowed me to take a close up photo, which is the feature image on the famous Merlin Bird ID app! #seabirds #pelagicbirding
It's #worldseabirdday and we are spreading the love!
Our incredible #blueparks are home to countless species of sea birds, and we are currently accepting nominations for our 2026 Blue Park Awards until 1 September, 2025.

Couldn't let #WorldSeabirdDay go past without a nod from us and the best UK #seabird there is! Here's to another year where we will advocate and fight for our beautiful, wonderful #seabirds ❤️❤️❤️

It's #WorldSeabirdDay.
It’s #WorldSeabirdDay. What better way to celebrate than with puffins?
These charismatic seabirds are icons of Atlantic Canada—and even the official bird of Newfoundland and Labrador!
Fun fact: Puffins lose their bright colours after breeding season. 👀
World seabird day today. Here’s a couple of photos from the weekend #WorldSeabirdDay #Farneislands #ukwildlife
🐧✨ Happy #WorldSeabirdDay! Native to the Atlantic & the official bird of Newfoundland, Atlantic puffins spend most of their lives out at sea.
🌊 With bright beaks & wild underwater skills, puffins can dive up to 60 metres deep to hunt small forage fish. 🐟
And finally a bit of puffin love! These iconic seabirds are many people's favourites.

Apparently it's #worldseabirdday, so ... Little and Large: the world's smallest gull, a Little Gull in the Firth of Forth (w/s c.65 cm, weight c.100 g) & a Pacific Gull in Tasmania
(w/s c.150 cm, weight c.

🪶 #DYK UK seabird populations have plummeted in the last few decades. One major culprit? Overfishing.
We must act now to restore ocean balance and protect these vital, vanishing birds.

Lovely calm blue-sky morning for spending time with the puffins (and the razorbills and guillemots) at Sumburgh Head #shetland #auks #worldseabirdday
On July 3, 1844, the last two confirmed specimens of the Great Auk were killed off the coast of Iceland. Every July 3 we commemorate and honor this amazing species with World Seabird Day to educate and inform so a tragedy like this never happens again.
#extinction #worldseabirdday #greatauk
🕊️ Today is #WorldSeabirdDay, marking the 1844 extinction of the Great Auk. Seabirds still face major threats—bycatch, pollution & habitat loss.
Just weeks ago, #WorldAlbatrossDay reminded us: thousands of seabirds die yearly in fisheries. Let’s act. 🌊🐦 #ACAP
The plastic crisis is DEVASTATING for seabirds. They ingest it. Feed it to their chicks. Get tangled in it.
Together, we can give seabirds a fighting chance against plastic. Pledge to help reduce single-use plastics at the source: oceana.ly/4000aMN
#WorldSeabirdDay #PlasticFreeJuly
We can't ignore guillemots! Apart from their deep diving skills, there are a few more reasons why these #seabirds are among our favourites 🥚

✨ Gull appreciation incoming!
They're misunderstood and underappreciated. And like all seabirds, they are in decline. We love gulls, and here’s why they deserve more love. #WorldSeabirdDay
