This week I attended the @bes-aquaticgroup.bsky.social conference to present some of the work from my MRes on minke whale foraging ecology - a first in poster format. Congratulations to the award winners and a huge thank you to the committee for the organisation that went into it.

The dismissal of net zero as 'impossible' by Kemi Badenoch MP undermines the urgency of the climate & nature crisis unfolding around us. ❗
Net zero is essential if we're serious about protecting the wildlife we cherish, the places we love, and the future we leave our children.

This is happening, right now.
The great "arribada" (arrival) of mother Olive Ridley sea turtles on the Odisha coast, where they dig sand-nests & lay their eggs, driven by ancient instinct.
Heart-lifting, magnificent, moving: part of a geography of hope.

I am all for beaver reintroductions in the UK. However, after escaping search parties for a year now, the beavers themselves clearly have their own agenda! 🦫

I turned my attention inland over the weekend - to birds 🐦. After storm Eowyn had passed, I took part in the #RSPB #BigGardenBirdwatch. After a very exciting hour, we had 15 different species recorded, including three species of tit, the humble wood pigeon, and a treecreeper!
