Recommended reading


Wow, what a fantastic book! This is an exhilarating combination of travel writing, field guide, "surround-sound" audioguide and scholarly research. Its beautifully produced, with high-quality reproduction of paintings by Killian Mullarney and photos by lots of seabird explorers including our very own Mark Bolton. Congratulations to Magnus Robb, the main author, on a ground-breaking publication which I'm sure will keep us all thinking, discussing and researching for years to come. Highly recommended reading for all storm petrel enthusiasts!

New arrival

Apologies for the recent break in transmission -I have an excellent excuse, namely Bryony Kate Thomas, who arrived into the world on July 21st. Seen here taking a nap after a busy day being born.
