#BirdLife launches #Seabird Conservation Handbook for West #Africa. The marine waters of West Africa's coast are highly productive, supporting numerous seabird species. However, these #birds are threatened by bycatch, overfishing, #climatechange, their habitat destruction, and invasive alien species (IAS) among others. https://www.birdlife.org/news/2023/09/07/birdlife-launches-seabird-conservation-handbook-for-west-africa

I could not resist another trip out into Lyme Bay this morning aboard 'Kelly's Hero' and am I glad I went. As well as good views of Manx and Balearic Shearwater, at one point there were eight - EIGHT - European Storm Petrel near the boat. Utterly fantastic!!! A sight that will stay with me for a long time.
