RNLI crew blasts Wally the walrus with an airhorn

Wally the walrus had a rude awakening when he was forcibly moved off a lifeboat slipway - with an air horn blast. An RNLI volunteer tried to budge the huge Arctic walrus when they were called out on a rescue mission on Monday. One volunteer took a broom to try and shoo the stubborn animal into the water to clear the way - but he refused to move. Wally the walrus has been seen sunbathing on the slipway in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, regularly over the past month  An RNLI crew member was forced to blast an air horn to encourage Wally to allow the lifeboat to launch in a rescue of two canoeists

GPS tags highlight danger zones for endangered albatross

BirdGuides 061a427d-1a08-42f7-80e7-5af1f8909dc0 Tracking data from 63 satellite-tagged Antipodean Albatrosses has revealed crucially important data on where the species encounters the highest accidental bycatch to the fishing industry. Antipodean Albatross breeds on islands off New Zealand, yet could be functionally extinct within two decades as a result of shockingly high levels of fisheries-related deaths. The albatross can live in excess of 70 years, and only starts breeding from the age of 10. Even then, it only lays a single egg during each breeding attempt (usually every two years). The slow rate of reproduction makes this giant seabird highly vulnerable to human threats. In 2018 its conservation status was uplisted to Endangered on the basis that more than half of its breeding population had been lost since 2004.

Tales from the dung heap: DNA analysis in birding

BirdGuides 5e0712cb-dbb3-4ed7-8be5-daeea5ad9db9 I m dressed in a white coat and nitrile gloves and there are no optics in sight. To most, this might seem like some of the more unusual birding attire, and yet I find myself within inches of something special – Siberian Stonechat. Admittedly, not the bird itself but its droppings. As a PhD student working under Prof Martin Collinson in the wildlife forensics lab at the University of Aberdeen, this is the ninth time I have found myself in this scenario in autumn 2019, with an eastern stonechat in my hands just begging to be identified. Admittedly, after the poo hit the fan with the Sennen Paddyfield Pipit identification in December, I welcome this return to something a little more familiar.
