Last week the HiDef Consultancy Team spent two days in Anstruther, Fife discussing their achievements over the past year and setting goals for the months ahead, topped off by a field trip to the Isle of May!
The team saw a wide variety of breeding seabirds, such as kittiwake, guillemot and razorbill, and were lucky enough to see nesting Arctic tern, who have returned to nest on the island after no breeding attempts in 2023. The marine mammalogists were also kept happy by lots of grey seals!
Special thanks to Mark Newell UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology and David Steel NatureScot who guided the team round the island and gave some interesting and informative talks on seabird ecology and survey methodologies.
