#AdriftLab recently completed another #WritingRetreat. The success of this approach - bringing our team together and blocking out dedicated time for deep thinking & writing - has been such a game changer. Gone are distractions like email, and in their place, creativity & productivity abounds

#ornithology friends in south-eastern #Australia: please be on the look-out for #seabirds on beaches. Sadly, they will probably start washing up in ~2 weeks… #CitizenScience #BeachedBirds #AdriftLab #OzBirds
Multiple species of #shearwater have begun arriving in Australian waters after completing their southward migration. We need your help recording if/when #seabirds start washing up on your local beaches #citizenscience

CONGRATS to our amazing MSc student, Celestine, who won the 2025 Mouv’Occitanie scholarship. Celestine is investigating whether #shearwaters from different regions are larger or smaller (as body size often varies with latitude) #AdriftLab #GoodScienceGoodPeople #SeabirdSaturday #OzBirds

Over the weekend, the #AdriftLab team returned to Larapuna to remove 1000s of sea spurge & #MarineDebris. We covered 15 km of beach & submitted data to 5 different #CitizenScience programs

Two #seabirds with metal leg bands were reported to #AdriftLab this week during #BeachedBird surveys (these are ongoing, please keep sending us data!). The #CitizenScientists took excellent photos which ensured we could read the full number & report it to the banding office #ABBBS

Last week HRH King Charles III learned about all the amazing research happening at #AdriftLab & the remarkable #birds we’re so lucky to work with. King Charles shares our teams’ passion for environmental #conservation. We’re hoping for a dinner invite soon 😉 #WPY60 @nhm-london.bsky.social

While undertaking fieldwork on #LordHoweIsland this month, the #AdriftLab team completed 21 #cleanups of four beaches. In total, we removed 2943 #plastics weighing 33kg (carried on our bicycles). All debris was sorted & uploaded to Australia’s national database #AMDI

Last night #AdriftLab were fortunate to attend a T’ɬakwagilogwa Cultural Event on Comorant Island in a remote corner of western Canada.
Afterwards, one of the Elders invited us to a private event where we witnessed a Welcome Ceremony between two neighboring tribes.

Our newest #AdriftLab paper provides the first data on how Australian #seabirds are impacted by #MarineHeatwaves. So much gratitude for the 200+ #CitizenScientists who made this project possible
New @adriftlab.bsky.social paper in Conservation Biology: we estimate 629,000+ seabirds died during Australia's 2023/24 marine heatwave. Fewer than 5,000 were counted on beaches, less than 1% of total mortality conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🧵

This hand-painted #shearwater was sent to an #AdriftLab team member with a note about #kindness and #gratitude.
A reminder that whatever your talent, it has the greatest impact when used for good. Who knows, your small gesture might just be the kindness that someone desperately needed 💙

Few people get to see these gorgeous, charismatic birds & this is something our #AdriftLab team struggles with. You can’t care about what you don’t know about, so…how do we (a small, poorly funded team) share the magic of these birds with the world? Thankfully, there are photographers like Ingrid 🙏
Take a moment to see the beauty in the eye of this young #shearwater, only moments before it took its first-ever flight into the Big Blue (and flew 15,000 km to Japan!) 💙
