I love the aggressive, noisy, feisty scrub jays that I’ve been feeding for decades.
Also, not through personal contact but via Cornell Labs, NZ Dept. Of Conservation and YouTube LadyHawk, the amazing Northern Royal Albatross. They’re the largest of sea birds, live for up to 60 years, mate generally for life. This year’s conservation program nestlings on Taiaroa Head, NZ, will fledge in the next couple of weeks and not return to land for 4-5 years. Many spend that interval near Chile. They are endangered through overfishing, destruction of habitat and…plastic pollution. The photo is “Manaaki,” selected as camera chick this year. He weighs around 25 pounds, has a six-foot wing span, and is 7-1/2 months old. #birds #seabirds #albatross

Now learning how to take off, land and fly without colliding into cliffs or other birds.

In the first census since 1999 the National Trust for Scotland finds that the numbers of seabird species living on St Kilda has fallen by 61%.
The numbers of kittiwakes have declined by 84%,
guillemots and razorbills by more than 35%.
The survey found there are more than 45,000 fewer fulmars on the island than there were 24 years ago.

Several of the feeding groups of Black-headed Gulls around Arbroath this morning had 1-3 Mediterranean Gulls in amongst them.

The same Fulmar five weeks later.
Fulmars are the only birds still on the cliffs, some wing testing going on so it won't be long before they head off out to sea.
