Diving ecology of Procellaria #petrels highlights the need to combine bird-scaring lines, weighted branch lines, and night setting in pelagic longline #fisheries zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #seabirds #bycatch @wileyecology.bsky.social
Here's another "cape" bird. The Rufous-collared Sparrow was "capensis" and this one is Daption "capense" .. the Pintado Petrel. The genus name is an anagram of the common name. By far the commonest petrel we saw in the south Atlantic. #BirdingArgentina #petrels #seabirds

Another bird from our pelagic trip... White-chinned Petrel (Procellaria aequinoctialis). The white chin is so tiny that you can't see it unless the bird is 2 meters away. 😀 #BirdingTasmania #BirdingAustralia #petrels #seabirds
One of several Northern Giant Petrels (Macronectes halli) we saw yesterday. The dark plumage indicates this is a young bird. Of the #tubenoses , the #GiantPetrels have the longest tubes .. extending almost the entire length of the bill. #BirdingTasmania #BirdingAustralia #seabirds #petrels
Tug of war between a Shy Albatross and a Northern Giant Petrel over some chicken skin. #BirdingAustralia #BirdingTasmania #seabirds #albatrosses #petrels
Very randomly: Southern giant #petrels are seriously one of my favourite birds ever. They're like a huge awkward looking albatross, and they are just majestic in this rugged, weird kind of way. I have only seen one IRL once, and it was so cool. #birds #seabirds

ʻUaʻu Recovery Project Update from HVNP & HPPA 🐦🚁🌋
HPPA aid-to-park funds helped support 2 Biological Science Techs & helicopter flight time so that automatic sound recorders & wildlife cameras could be deployed at the petrel colonies on Mauna Loa. 🎧📷

Over 2,400 tracked white-chinned petrels reveal complex moulting strategies: adults power through, immatures take it slow, some skip feathers—yet flight stays steady.🕊️🌊
A rare deep dive into seabird moult challenges old assumptions.

"Albatrocaties"! Mollymawk puts Westland Petrel in headlock in a batle over squid. These seadbirds seem so peaceful as they soar placidly over the ocean....UNTIL its meal time! #albatrosses #petrels #🪶 #birds #nature #birding #photography #birdsofbluesky#naturephotography #birdphotography
Introduced predators ( #cats & #rats) shape nesting distribution of Bulwer's petrels and feral pigeons affect breeding performance. It highlights the role of #pigeons as nest competitors of #Petrels on the #CanaryIslands

As I just joined Bluesky, let me introduce myself! I’m an #ecologist currently based in #Italy, deeply fascinated by how #seabirds manage to thrive in the challenging marine environment.
I have a passion for working in tropical ecosystems and yes, I have a soft spot for #storm #petrels!
Do you like #petrels, islands and data analysis? Well the RSPB’s Conservation Scientist role could be the one for you!
Deadline closing very soon (20 Nov) ⚠️
