Ever wondered what gulls really prefer to eat? 🐟or🥪 Out now: My 2nd #PhD paper, a study of Rescue* Herring gull chicks' food preferences, and whether they could be influenced by their early-life diet. *Chicks reared in captivity as they couldn't be returned to their parents

🎉 Second first-author paper from my PhD research is now published open-access for all to read & share!!🎉 Young puffins are drawn to artificial light & spectrum may not matter. They're also less active under LED compared to sodium light or darkness 💡🐧 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…

Our new paper is out today in @IBIS_journal. All about the visual fields of gulls and their propensity for collisions with anthropogenic objects. Link to paper below. Congrats 1st author Jenny Cantlay, with the wonderful Prof. Graham Martin. @RHULBioSci #ornithology

My first first-author publication and the first chapter of my PhD... a lot of firsts! Feeling proud 🥳 Big thanks to my research team, friends in Cornwall for hosting me and all the wonderful volunteers! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10… 🦡🦡🦡

@veritylmiles Congratulations Verity! 😃😃🎉🎊🎉 I shall have a read! Willow is also now famous for her 'help' 😆😍

I’m seeing a lot of anger and disappointment in badger circles today that the badger cull is ending, but not ending fast enough. Apologies for the long thread 🧵, but tet me explain why I think the news is the best it could be 1/25

@CalidrisPhoto Wow nice find and very bizarre find! Maybe some unfortunate predation interaction or scavenging? would be my guess

@scottishseabird @TheSeabirdGroup @WaterbirdCM @_BTO @KaneBrides @FrancisDaunt @AlcaTorda17 @SkokholmIsland @Au_Erithacus @UKCEHseabirds @Stephen8Vickers I don't manage our seabird CR but @ringing_mark does all our Cornish and collab'ing on setup of Scillies ringing also 🙂

✨Bird ringers/banders ✨ I’ve inherited a colour ringing project and am intrigued to hear how you manage your records & resightings. Surely there’s a better way than just trawling through spreadsheets?! #ornithology #birdRinging #birdBanding #colourRinging

@ed_kroc Very cool! I can't wait to read, congratulations Ed!!

Errata: In post 4/7, those claims should be restricted to referring to the *BC* portion of the Salish Sea only. We are in the process of completing work to be able to talk about the entire SS on both sides of the border, but that's still a year or two away.

The culmination of nearly a decade of work: my new paper with Louise Blight @procellaria11 and Wilson Cao on urban-nesting Glaucous-winged Gulls (GWGUs) of @CityofVancouver now online in Ecological Modelling. I'll give the highlights here, but more to come soon. 1/7

To the people asking me "What about the hedgehogs?", can I take a moment to highlight this seal of approval from hedgehog expert-in-chief @hedgehoghugh ? Badgers do eat hedgehogs but the two species coexisted for millennia before pesticides etc came along

For once a little GOOD NEWS about bovine tuberculosis control for UK farmers 🐄🦡💉! I'm proud to share our latest paper, you can read it for free here: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… 1/19

It's that time of year again. Have a go at picking out your own juvenile Yellow-legged Gull on our beaches with juvenile Herring Gulls... This YLG was at Broadsands Beach #Torbay yesterday evening - compare with the juvenile Herring Gull photos

@RobThomas14 I'd recommend the tangtastics if I had to choose a haribo. Though I most have a weakness for a mint Terry's chocolate orange atm.. I might need a bigger bird.. 🦅

I wasn't allowed to test crisps with my gull chicks but this adult herring gull has learnt this is a easy meal. Not necessarily good for them at all, but they can't taste spicy foods as they lack the taste sense for capsaicin, which is 'heat' spicy sensation we get.

My Boy has been missing for 5 days!!! I know its hard for him..but we just want him home..If u see him PLEASE REPORT TO POLICE...

Fully-funded PhD on moth trapping, automated ID, climate extremes & predator responses, with @DavidRoyBRC and me at @UniExeCEC in Cornwall. Deadline ** 29 July **. Please share! exeter.ac.uk/study/funding/…

Study shows urban seagull chicks still prefer fish bbc.in/3XZZ3fH

@TamarWildlife @lauraakelley @RobThomas14 @NeeltjeBoogert @suzysharpeart Cheers Bruce! 😁

@EmmaInzani @lauraakelley @RobThomas14 @NeeltjeBoogert @suzysharpeart Nice summary Emma well done👍

@RobThomas14 Thanks Rob! It's so nice to see our work out in the world, hopefully helping people understand urban gulls more 😊

theguardian.com/environment/ar… Lovely reporting our study here! (And pic of two of our adorable chicks)

@bardseyben Thanks Ben 🙂

@EmmaInzani Fantastic stuff Emma!
