Current exhibitor, Adele Pound, has a very distinctive style, using graphic stories to express her passion for birds. Here is an extract from her Shearwater story, as the young bird emerges alone from the nest. Show runs until 7 Nov. Full story here: the-soc.org.uk/files/docs/Ade…

The hoped for rarity didn't materialise at @CopelandBirdObs over the weekend but a trickle of migrants (32 birds ringed inc. 14 L Redpoll, 4 Goldcrest, 3 Blackbird), nice sunsets/rises, balmy October nights & a record count of 55 Grey Seal pups made for another great trip

Seawatching produced all four skuas, little gull and a surprise hobby-thanks @temiller17, who spent hrs on the old lighthouse spotting skuas and getting us onto them by radio! My own highlight was this buzzard- the 2nd ringed on CBO. Thanks to @CopelandBirdObs-we’ll be back! 4/4

Manx shearwaters are clearly the highlight, but our eager team put some effort into mist netting and seawatching from the old lighthouse too, with good numbers and fantastic diversity of birds caught which was brilliant all-round experience for our trainees @CopelandBirdObs 3/4

Last week a group of us visited @CopelandBirdObs to ring #Manx #shearwater fledglings as they emerge from their nest before heading on their first migration. Breeding Manxies can’t be aged by plumage or morphology so the aim is to provide demographic info for future studies. 1/4

And black guillemot fieldwork for @MarPAMM_project is officially complete! The deployment of 23 tags has left us brimming with excitement (and data!), final nest checks @CopelandBirdObs have left us brimming with excrement (and data too). Now for the analysis #MarPAMMSeabirds!

Calf of Man Bird Observatory
Great to catch a 19-year old #ManxShearwater control from @CopelandBirdObs. This bird originally ringed as a fledgling in Sep 2002, was previously recorded here in 2007 and again last night. It is likely that this is one of the early birds that helped to recolonise the Calf.
