So much looking forward to starting my new @LeverhulmeTrust Major Research Fellowship project Storying Worlds Beyond Fish: Kinship and Connection in the Minch. I hope to connect with lots of people ... and seabirds ... to explore routes towards marine environmental flourishing.

Professor Lydia Martens has received a Major Research Fellowship from the @LeverhulmeTrust for a three-year study exploring how storytelling can be used to promote environmental awareness and connect humans with nature. Read more ➡️ bit.ly/33RAveK

No Fulmars! We have been monitoring Canna annually since 1969. This is the first time we have had a zero count for Fulmar. Their numbers peaked at 671 occupied sites in 1992.

Learned lots from @AilsaMcL about native oysters and #seawilding around Loch Broom. For instance, once oyster larvae attach to a surface, they become known as 'spat'. 5000 pinky nail-sized spats arrived two years ago and how they have grown! Love #Oysters

It was lovely to spend time with @ldmartens1 on a standard Scottish June day (hail and biblical thunder) looking at oysters, and talking about the connection between the people and the sea. #Oysters ⚡️❤️🐟

@graemecook1982 We will be checking Caithness sites in early June. I fear there will be declines there as well

EMPTY LEDGES. First visit to North Sutor colony revealed the extreme impact bird flu, storms and rising sea temps have had on seabirds. Cormorants down by 36% to only 86 nests, shags by 60% to 60 nests and Guillemots down by a massive 83% on last year.

Brora beach seems ok for now 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼from #BirdFlu. Small but vocal tern colony active. Common gulls, herring gulls, BBGs & oyster catchers all active on the shore. Old carcasses mostly, possibly common gull, around 20. One recent deceased guillemot.
Ron Macdonald@ronpon_ron

This morning I walked the shore from the mouth of the Ythan estuary to Trumps Golf course, some 4.5 km and counted 294 dead guillemots (97% adult), 11 razorbill, 1 puffin, 1 Arctic tern & 200+ gull sp. So sad #hpai #TwitterNatureCommunity #TwitterNaturePhotography #naturelovers

Talking to French colleagues about my Minch project yesterday. A quarter had visited the highlands & said they went for & loved its wonderful nature. SSEN - do plan carefully around this as tourists don’t come to see what they see at home … #BetterCableRoute

We are not Nimbies. We want renewable energy. But we do not want the industrialisation of the Highlands, and the destruction of our special places and wildlife. #bettercableroute #thinkagainSSEN #spittaltobeauly

This is Loch Brora, East Sutherland. Home to whooper swans and broch Carroll. It has two power lines already running north-south on either end. SSEN plans for a NEW 55 meter high power line cuts right across this Loch & would be third line. #BetterCableRoute please.

Here is Dunrobin Glen, East Sutherland. Power lines already run north-south on either side of this glen. SSEN’s plans for a new 55 meter high pylon route has two options running through this Glen & would be third power line in 5 miles. #BetterCableRoute

Energy firm SSEN has put forward plans for a network of pylons to run for about 100 miles between Spittal, in Caithness, in the far north of Scotland, to Beauly, near Inverness. trib.al/I0kjiUi
