Fourth night at the Gongon courtship area on Fogo(Cabo Verde). Storm !Birds remained high in the air so no pictures but their high-speed chasing flights with mid-air touching and stalling were even more spectacular than during the previous nights. Filmed with Pulsar Merger XL50

Gongon courtship flights in the "courtship bubble" (only part of the airspace is used). Thanks to Projecto Vito for the logistics support @projecto_vito . Filmed with Pulsar merger LRF XL50.

Slowly working through photos from an epic trip to the edge of the continental shelf courtesy of @stmarys_patch . In addition to the birds, a few cetacean highlights, such as these striped dolphins checking out the boat at dusk, magic!

One of the blue #sharks we tagged off Cornwall 12 days ago was given a SPOT tag, which reports to satellites when it comes near the surface. We hadn't heard from her since then, but last night she checked in, over 2000 miles away off the Canary Islands! Extraordinary!! 🦈

Dragged DNA sequence kicking and screaming from poop of the putative Mediterranean Flycatcher from Scilly, 16/17 April and sadly it turned out to be boring old Spotted Fly. @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides @__BBRC @stmarys_patch

Check out this #foraging trip of a #gongon from a #GPS just recovered by @protjectovito 😃😍 This bird is breeding in #Fogo #CaboVerde and travelled further north than usual, passing and foraging very close to #CanaryIs 😱💪 A pity the battery exhausted half way! #Pterodroma feae
