#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

Unfortunately, we’re now getting records of #BeachedBirds further north, between #Eden and #Newcastle. It’s hot, so people are on beaches - we need to know what they’re seeing 🐦🙏 #CitizenScience #shearwaters #seabirds

Apologies for (another) sad photo. If you live between #Wollongong & #Ulladulla, can you please send us a DM - #birds are washing up on beaches in this area. We need help recording where, how many & which species

#LittlePenguin numbers on #Tasmanian & #Victorian beaches are low, but consistent. The birds are fresh, which suggests more will wash up. Please share & send us photos/data!

Numbers of #BeachedBirds are finally slowing, but we still want your data (zeros are data too!) ⬇️
Numbers of #seabirds on beaches are starting to decline on the east coast, but we’ve had some rare birds wash up dead, plus another banded #shearwater (one of our beloved birds that we’ve been following for years 😢)

Ideally, we’d like one photo per bird. Why? In #Australia, you might encounter two #shearwater species that look similar: one has a small black beak & the other a larger white beak with distinctive black tip #CitizenScience #BeachedBirds

Starting in Oct/Nov (and often continuing until May), seabirds sometimes begin washing up dead/dying on beaches from Brisbane to Hobart (including west to Adelaide and sometimes beyond).
