Measurement of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS, 'forever chemicals') in the eggs of the northern gannet (*Morus bassanus*) from the Gulf of St. Lawrence from 1969 to 2024 showed highest concentrations in the 1990s, followed by declines to about 3/4 of the peak. Half-lives are about 60 years, variable with compound and lipid adjustment.

Abflug!
Fast zwei Meter Flügelspannweite machen die Basstölpel mit zu den elegantesten Fliegern am Himmel – da darf der Start auch mal etwas albatrossig daherkommen.

Dolphins were barely visible today out on the water - a bit grey and choppy but brightened up by a lot of Gannets flying around, diving and then sitting on the water digesting their catch like this beauty here. #SeaBird #Sea #Bird #Gannet #Birding #Scotland
