On the way home. Brief layover in a Singapore. Field season thoughts after I've slept.

Today our beautiful, broken #AdriftLab team removed >400 #plastics from one baby #seabird and >50g from another. It’s been rough (!), proud of how we’ve rallied around one another 💔🐦♻️

236 pieces of plastic from one Flesh-footed Shearwater chick found dead in the colony on Lord Howe Island. Sadly, not the record. #LHIadventure

Today #AdriftLab found a #shearwater entangled in recreational fishing gear (line & hook visible in the top left corner). The line caused serious injury to the wing, leg and foot. We’re sad to say, the bird is no longer alive. Please fish much more carefully and responsibly, what you leave behind causes great suffering and ends the lives of others who are innocent and don’t have a voice
