Bit of excitement on the CEFAS Endeavour this morning when we saw this Fea's-type Petrel 17nm off the Cornish coast as we were heading towards Lundy to shelter for the next day or so.

Know the date but forget what day it is surveying on the CEFAS Endeavour. Image for #superseabirdSunday this week has to be the Desertas/Fea's Petrel seen on Thursday #birds

Here's a link to a blog covering the last 3 days on board the CEFAS Endeavour. Not many birds, unfortunately, and some pretty ropey surveying conditions today #ukbirding #birds #marinelife

Tomorrow the 4-day journey to #PitcairnIsland begins! We’re participating in the 2025 #BlueBelt #expedition to support the #MarineProtectedArea. Six international scientists from Australia, Scotland & Brazil were awarded funding from #Cefas; the research will focus on ecosystem & #seabird health

A little look back to October 2024 for #SuperSeabirdSunday and my annual visit to the Channel and Celtic Sea with CEFAS. This Cory's Shearwater was living up to its name in the Channel

A close up of a Sooty Shearwater taken from the RV CEFAS Endeavour on last year's Peltic survey, it was a good year for them and had several close birds #birds #ukbirding #superseabirdsunday

On Sunday, a F2 W swinging E was not ideal so we employed several chumming tricks. Success with 15 Wilson’s and c150 Europeans. First Grey Phalorope. Shearwaters: 8 Cory’s with 2 following close behind, 5 Great and 6 Sooty. The CEFAS weather boy 8 km west housed c20 Common Tern. #seabirds

David Murray (cefas) very clear explanation of challenges of jargon in population genetics when communicating with policymakers #FSBI2026

We're proud to say @dralexford.bsky.social + Dr Francesca Ginley were able to use some of the data on PFAS in animals, fish + birds we compiled from the Cefas archives in their excellent study.

That data also featured in this article:

Some wildlife species have accumulated many times more than safe amount of PFAS in their tissue and organs
