Author Information

Mike Harris has been a seabird biologist for more than 50 years. He initially worked on gulls and Manx Shearwaters on the Welsh islands of Skomer and Skokholm before moving on to the seabirds of the Galápagos Islands. In 1972, he initiated the long-term Puffin research study on the Isle of May, and over the years this has expanded to include many of the other seabird species on the island. He has been an Emeritus Fellow at the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) since his retirement and still spends his summers on the Isle of May. Sarah Wanless started her seabird career working on Gannets at Bempton and Ailsa Craig. She has been involved in the long-term seabird studies on the Isle of May since 1980, initiating much of the work using loggers and, following Mike’s retirement, running the CEH’s seabird research studies for ten years. The results of Mike and Sarah’s joint studies have been published in many scientific papers and presented at numerous national and international conferences. In recognition of their contribution to seabird ecology and conservation they have received a number of awards and prizes
