This is a recording of an RSPB webinar which took place on Monday 7 August 2023.
This session explores several aspects of seabirds: how to identify them, what it’s like watching them, and the challenges that affect the UK’s seabird colonies. Across our isles we have a variety of seabird species, from the largest, the goose-sized Gannet, to the smallest, the Storm Petrel which is almost as small as a sparrow. Then there are the popular Puffins, their close relatives the Guillemots and Razorbills, and more. And the British Isles is internationally important for seabirds. Over two thirds of the planet’s Gannets and 90% of its Manx Shearwaters nest here!
01:49 Seabird ID with Marine Policy Officer Samuel Wrobel. Samuel also discusses some of the threats facing UK seabirds.
21:03 Laura Kudelska, Site Manager at RSPB South Stack, talks us through the birds that nest at this wonderful nature reserve.
32:10 Chantal Macleod-Nolan, Project Officer for the Global Species Recovery Unit, gives us a brief guide to terns we might see in the UK and how we’re working to help them breed successfully here.
46:01 Finally, Martin Noble of Sea Power reveals how seabirds and their habitats have inspired the alternative rock band’s music.
Help save Scotland’s seabirds
Sandeels and seabirds are under huge pressure. With your help, we can show the Scottish Government that we back a game-changing ban on industrial sandeel fishing in Scottish waters.
