Global delegates have landed in Ōtepoti Dunedin for the Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses & Petrels (#ACAP) seabird summit. We hope this week’s meeting will encourage countries to adopt stronger protections at sea – b/c saving these special species takes global commitment & local action.

Another #weeklyvomit from pakake 🦭
Found close to this wee male on a sunny Ōtepoti beach - and full of kahawai!
Check out how far the stones/gastroliths were spread. Must have been quite a spew 😳

This weeks prompt for #showmeyourknits had me thrown back to when I stopped the car in the middle of the road, and ran way up a hill to dig my fingers in snow.
Pretty sure my partner, who I had just started dating, questioned my sanity...
But I hadn't seen snow in nearly three years!!

One of my favourite creations is the Rita Sweater from Not Perfect Knit 🤗
Pretty special when Rita and her granddaughter who made the pattern, Rikke, are friends of our family!
Extra special when knitted in leftover DK yarn, from three sweaters I made for my partner ❤️

Wrapped up a year-long field season yesterday and already feeling nostalgic!
So have decided to overdose my bsky in the coming months with a #weeklyvomit from pakake/NZ sea lions 🦭
This one features a prime example of Jack Mackerel 🐟

Nothing better than gifts for the ones who have made homeknits for me throughout life ❤️

Another field trip turned into #wildliferescue yesterday.
Heartbreaking to find a pup caught in discarded fencing!
Incredibly lucky we were onsite and able to coordinate with local residents+authorities to get it off her asap.

Don't have heaps of grey creations for this weeks #showmeyourknits but do have this lovely Oslo Hat, which was the very first thing I made for Tom (made sure to weave my hair into it...). He wore it on his first visit to the Skandi lands and is still his favourite go-to beanie ❤️

Danish science magazine writes about history of Easter but completely neglects the fact a lot of our traditions are pre-christian.
It's rooted in pagan spring/fertility celebrations - decorating eggs are an older tradition to us than any parts of the Bible!

We found this in a NZ sea lion vomit and don't know what it is.
Looks like part of an exoskeleton, maybe crustacean 🧐

Once did a public talk on April 1st, claiming the last metamorphosis stage for spiders was turning into a cranefly... Been pretty cautious since then with April's fools as I got a call from a Biology teacher who struggled to tell her student he had heard a lie. But this one is damn good!
WORLD-FIRST: Ground-breaking research published today in the Ornithologist Journal has, for the first time, translated common UK bird vocalisations into equivalent phrases in the human language.
The results tell us a lot!

Was able to remove most on site and the hook was thankfully gone when we went back with veterinarians the following day. Second time we've seen this in a few months 🙄
