Colin Marshall, Creator Living World Education @livingworldeduc.bsky.social · Nov 17
Hello #Bluesky!
I am Colin, a teacher from the UK with a big love for #nature. I formed Living World Education as a way of sharing resources and seeing how I may help to promote learning about our natural world.
Here's a few examples of what I do...

I'm chatting with Pascal, a #blackbird who for the couple of years has adopted us. I bung him a few mealworms, he makes me happy. After a short time away whilst he was moulting, he is back and hungry. How do I know it's him? Well, he only has one leg for a start!
#nature #wellbeing #birds
Man talking to a blackbird which is close to him.

Well, that's our #pumpkin sorted! I adapted a long-eared #bat illustration that I did for the Mammal Society magazine. Have you carved a wild pumpkin? 🦇🎃

The Bat Conservation Trust have a great project where you can record the bats in your local area - the pack is easy to order and put up - I've just done mine! Get involved... 🦇https://www.bats.org.uk/resources/nightwatch @batconservation.bsky.social @wildlifegardenproj.bsky.social 🦇

A superb project that needs awareness so the message can spread - if you want to see genuine action against wildlife crime take less than two minutes to see why it is so important... 🦅🪶🦉

On #sharkawarenessday it is good idea to get the name of a species correct... unless it has multiple names! #sandtigershark #greynurseshark #raggedtooth 🦈

You may be aware of a #frilledshark, but did you know they have the longest gestation of all vertebrates - pups develop over 3.5 years? 🦈

#NoMowMay is all well and good, but keeping "scruffy", wild spaces all year round is essential. My #wildlifegarden has ladybirds, ant hills, grasshoppers, bees and even a beautiful,delicate, silky nest of tiny spiders.
