A happy sight. A sea of blue tops canes marking puffin burrows with eggs. All 200 burrows now marked and we will discover the breeding success in july – at Hoddesdon, East

First visit to Isle of May in 2019. Over 100 shag rings read, double number 3 weeks ago so maybe they are starting to return. @ShagMigration – at Hoddesdon, East

No wonder it felt cold last night in the unheated bedrooms. Not often we see frozen water on the Isle of May.Was a bit nippy trying to read shag rings at dawn. @ShagMigration – at Scotland, United Kingdom

huge thanks. 108 rings read between us all. Top effort in nippy conditions. @ShagMigration
A great couple of days on The May thanks to @CEHseabirds reading shag darvics. Mighty chilly, but little auk & se-owl, including one trapped was nice.

Another day, another island for @LothianRG @CEHseabirds shag ringing. Inchmickery looks like a battleship from a distance and was heavily bombed in WW2. Now, seabirds nest among the buildings #seabirds

Another terrific effort by the team again today on Inchkeith, our target species today was Kittiwake 84 new today plus 12 re-traps! Although our attentions did divert a little as @LimpetLaura hasn’t ringed enough #shags this season so far! Keep an eye out for them @ShagMigration

Worrying lack of colour ringed birds on the Isle of May and a few reports of dead shags turning up on beaches- hope this bad weather has not taken a toll on our population again! xitter.cf/CEHseabirds/status/973…
Where have all the shags gone? Out on the May and only 15 colour rings when a fortnight ago would have read 60+ at the evening roost.
