Hacking GoPros to help save the Atlantic’s rarest bird On a tiny volcanic island in Bermuda, a two-man conservation outfit is using DIY tech to help a ‘Lazarus’ bird species make a comeback.

​In Bermuda, conservationists are using hacked GoPro cameras to monitor the critically endangered Bermuda petrel ​

I fully agree! It was a very special moment discovering all those Long-eared Owls in the tree at Lednice Castle! Thank you for sharing these photos and capturing the many nice moments in and around Mikolov @numenini.bsky.social

Hi Terry! Look who came to welcome my brother upon his return to #Sydney! #ausbirds #birds #nature

Love these! And I can personally particularly relate to the Puffin! ;-) Definitely made it a happy #ValentinesDay - thanks @rspb.bsky.social team for this creative content #ForBirds & #ForNature!

They really did! Thank you so much

So nice to hear the laugh of the kookaburra again after so many years! Thank you so much @terrysydney.bsky.social for capturing and sharing this special video! Really amazing! 🙏

The authors conclude that international collaboration is essential to address the impacts of marine plastic.

For petrels, for example, we don't fully understand where migration and foraging overlap with plastic exposure. By analysing movement data for 77 petrel species, the authors identify high-risk areas all over the world.

Global assessment of marine plastic exposure risk for oceanic birds - Nature Communications Petrels are wide-ranging, highly threatened seabirds that often ingest plastic. This study used tracking data for 7,137 petrels of 77 species to map global exposure risk and compare regions, species, ...

In "Global assessment of marine plastic exposure risk for oceanic birds" @bethanyclark.bsky.social, @mariemrouyer.bsky.social, @katboothjones.bsky.social, et al. note that understanding where #seabirds encounter plastic is crucial.

I've been asked for the layperson's summary of this paper, so here it goes:

Because distinct groups of #seabirds across large regions like the North Atlantic grow and shrink together, conservationists in different countries also need to work together.

The empty, crackling shells were a real mystery to us! Amazing how you captured the cicada transformation (and the empty shell!) in this photo: bsky.app/profile/terr...
