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.

data when looking at numbers of #stormpetrel seen per observation event, suggesting that it is not just the colonies on King George Island that have declined.

Two colonies on King George Island, #Antarctica appear to have crashed in the last 40 years, showing a 90% (!!) decrease in adult numbers and nests. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00300-023-03154-4 @wojczulanis13
