Annette Fayet

I am a researcher interested in seabird ecology, behaviour, and conservation. I am currently based in the UK and working for the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research. Formerly, I was a Junior Research Fellow at the University of Oxford. I am also a 2018 National Geographic Explorer and former Sky Ocean Rescue Scholar. On this site you can find information about my research, publications and recent research news.

Recent Public Engagement

I recently tweeted a collection of short videos giving a glimpse into puffins’ lives on their colonies – check them out here!

In a new video with Oxplore, my colleague Natasha Gillies and I discuss our work on seabirds and discuss the question: Should we put our Ocean first? (Nov 2020)

To celebrate #WorldMigratoryBirdDay I gave a live talk to classrooms with Exploring by The Seat of Your Pants about my work tracking the migration of puffins and other seabirds. Watch here! (Oct 2020)
