Sad news from @yamashina_inst: A Roseate Tern, ringed in Australia over two decades ago, fell victim to a free-ranging cat in Okinawa, Japan. This serves as a reminder of the global concern for the impact of #cats on wildlife. #CatPredation Source: cutt.ly/Mwuxj1y0

Mini gull ID guide - remember, the lesser back-packed gull is smaller, has yellow legs, and carries a much smaller rucksack! #gulls #seabirds #birds #birdnerd – at Glasgow, Scotland
