Army Birding

The news of increasing numbers of Frigatebirds now breeding on the mainland at Letterbox is overshadowed by the latest arrival on Ascension - Dylan Weber on 26 Jul 2015.

Congrats to Nicola and Sam Weber and look forward to Dylan joining us looking for geolocators on the Fairs in due course!

I have just seen this article on the BBC news web page confirming that a Marine Reserve will be created around Ascension Island.

good news for Ascension

Bad news for the few of us having to hit the ground running in 10 days time to prove the science behind close waters feeding areas. Can think of worse tasks.
