Our first Shag chicks of the season were seen during a colony check y’day! 🐣
Unfortunately several nests had failed, likely due to recent storms, but signs of others nest building and some more on eggs. Also 2 adults retrapped (from 2012 and 2018).

The Falklands host the world’s largest population of Southern Giant Petrels & for the first time we’re tracking their movements! 🌍 Turns out, they’re not homebodies-Some are soaring over 1,500km from home!
