Concern over slow start to seabird breeding season (www.nts.org.uk)

Our seabird experts have raised concerns after observing a slow start to the seabird breeding season, which runs from April to September each year, as well as a reduction in nesting activity for key species such as fulmars, guillemots and shags.

The data was gathered during annual monitoring surveys, carried out by our ranger teams and groups we support on our islands, to measure the health of the seabird population in our care.

With over 1 million seabirds nesting at Trust places every year, our charity has recruited additional staff to work on new initiatives aimed at protecting Scotland’s natural heritage. Two new seabird ecologists, James Crymble and Elizabeth (Liz) Morgan, have joined the Trust at a crucial time; one of their first jobs has been to help rangers to complete the annual monitoring surveys and record vital data about the seabird species that breed in Scotland.
