A deadly bird flu outbreak in 2022 slashed gannet numbers on Bass Rock by 26% the following year, with adult mortality skyrocketing from 6% to 33%—a fourfold jump. The crisis, also hitting Grassholm in Wales, threatens global recovery, potentially taking up to 20 years. Conservationists warn this could force a reevaluation of gannets’ current “least concern” status, highlighting how fragile even stable populations are—and why urgent, sustained action is needed to protect these iconic seabirds.
