The common gull, Arctic tern and great skua are among the seabirds now considered most at risk in Britain, but there is better news about the European shag and black guillemot.
Another five seabirds have been added to a list of Britain's most threatened birds. Leach's storm petrel, the common gull, the great black-backed gull, the Arctic tern and the great skua have been included on a so-called 'red list' by the Birds of Conservation Concern review. It uses a traffic-light system giving birds a green, amber or red status indicating the level of risk to their survival.
The other five seabirds which were already on the red list - and have not seen their status change - are the kittiwake, herring gull, roseate tern, Arctic skua and puffin. Meanwhile, on the full list - including all birds not just seabirds - there are now 73 listed as red.
