On my way for my #motorcycle adventure. Engine seems really happy just going full throttle I guess it just likes being nice and warm.
Having a quick stop to see the #seals.

Here's a seal. Its name is Sealvester.
#Trötpause
Ich breche gegen Mittag zu einer einwöchigen Dienstreise auf. In den nächsten Tagen werdet ihr von mir deshalb nicht viel hören (GM-Tröts vielleicht). Bis demnächst.

Hi #sciencemastadon, just migrated to social.edu.nl. A re-introduction: I'm a researcher working at Wageningen University and Research (#wur), studying the #ecology of #marinemammals (mostly #seals) in the Netherlands or #arctic, analysing #spatial distribution and #habitat selection based on #wildlife #tracking or #drone/ #uav/ #satellite data using #rstats
Also interested in human #behavioural ecology and alternative economic systems like #degrowth/ #postgrowth
Below movie of our research
Piedra Blancas elephant seal rookery is in its final weeks. Soon, the exhausted females and plump pups can head to sea for some deep diving. #seals #piedrasblancas #California #marinemammals #naturalwonder
oh, to be a pinneped pining and ped-ing for pizza, fin-ally

…The #NorthernBeringSea, off the coast of western #Alaska, is home to migrating #MarineMammals including bowhead & beluga #whales, #walruses & ice #seals, which are hunted by many Alaska Natives. In 2016, President Obama issued an executive order that prohibited #oil & #gas exploration across >112k square miles of marine habitat in the Northern Bering Sea & called for tribal co-management of the protected area.

fantastic research - using drones not just to count seals without disturbance, but to accurately measure them too

Thanks for sharing. If you visit #fastcastle this time of year, it is also an excellent opportunity to watch the grey seal pupping just down below. For guidance how to watch them with care, see
