Skokholm Island back in July 2023 - possibly the first time ever seen via my infra-red cameras, the hatching of a Storm Petrel this year in Chamber 64 - Petrel Station in the quarry. Watch out for Petrel Station 2 coming in 2025! 🤞🙏 @SkokholmIsland @TFOSAS @WTSWW @WTWales
The first 4% of our Manx Shearwater chicks have now fledged, that's about 2500 youngsters heading out into the Atlantic. Tens of thousands more will be departing over the next few weeks.
One of the Storm Petrels handled last night was ringed in Petrel Station box 11 by @billsbirding in 2019. Thirty birds later and we handled one ringed by @JodiemHenderson in 2021, from the very same box 11!!! Two probable siblings flying around together.
It has always fascinated us how Storm Petrels manage to find their nest crevice amongst a sea of similar nest crevices. Are they scent marking their abodes with a unique oily concoction different enough from that of their neighbours? Great Petrel Station footage from @Payne1pro
Are you interested in #biosecurity and want to help carry out our project's legacy to protect seabirds on some incredible islands around Wales - apply here now...app.vacancy-filler.co.uk/salescrm/Caree… @skomer_island @SkokholmIsland @RSPBRamsey @Enlli_Bardsey @RSPBCymru
Looking to improve your #bird ID skills? 🔎 Want to explore our beautiful @skomer_island with an expert wildlife guide without other day visitors? 👣 We have only 5 spaces left on our special Guided Walk on Monday 15th May. 🐧🐦🫶🏼👇🏼
Check out a new guest blog from @WTSWW about the huge effort they went to with the help of Jinx our conservation detection dog, in order to protect burrow nesting Manx shearwater & Atlantic puffin following a shipwreck on Skomer #WildIsles. Read more here: biosecurityforlife.org.uk/blog/2023-04-1…
🐧 What’s that you say…? An #MSc studying #Puffins? To find out why @skomer_island’s population is booming while others are declining? Just like Sir Dave said on #WildIsles??? About time too! 🐧 ➡️ 🧵with more info (apply by 24 April) 1/4
We would like to say a huge thank you to @TFOSAS who purchased the recycled plastic Puffin burrow posts for Crab Bay. It will be fascinating to see what proportion of pairs fledge a chick.
After the incident with the fishing boat that ran aground on Skomer in December, rat detection dog Jinx and I are returning today with @WTSWW staff for a follow up biosecurity check
Put your feet up and delve into the facts and stories of 2021 on Skokholm Island. Great, thorough piece of work as usual by the wardens 👍

Phenomenal work over on #Skomer last week, after a shipwreck on 7th Dec. Thankfully our monitoring and surveillance has shown no rats accessed the island following the wreck. A huge #diolch to everyone who lent a hand (and paw!) 🐾 @biosecurityLIFE @RSPBRamsey @PCNPAEducation
