Hyped to see my first night heron - potentially the second record for Alderney, and my second grasshopper warbler! Great day at the Alderney Community Woodland:)

Is the #marine #heatwave in the NE Atlantic impacting #seabirds ? These temperatures are literally off the charts. I'm just back from kittiwake fieldwork on @skomerisland and I'm concerned👇 1/4 #ornithology #climatecrisis #globalheating #SST

A bit grim today, with avian flu rearing its head again at St Abbs Head NNR. 44 dead birds in the last 2 days, 20 Kittiwake (all adults), 19 Guillemot (18 chicks) and 5 Herring Gull (all 2CY birds)

Once again willing the seabirds off the cliffs before it gets worse.

Perfectly said: “Avian #influenza is clearly a #OneHealth disease – that is it affects wildlife, domestic animals and humans. So a multi-pronged OneHealth response is critical; we cannot wait until signs of human-to-human transmission occur.”
