Conservationist through and through, think I have green blood. My passions are trees and seas: I’m a Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing) leader and a BSAC Marine Champion. I love the underwater world: exploring and conserving it and spending time with sharks
What a super scurry of squirrels at Sutton Lawn park yesterday! I counted 10! They are much maligned but these little beauties were just there, nibbling and burying their acorns and I thought they were ace 🩶🧡🩶 (zoom in to count if you want!)

So many people were understandably upset at the loss of the #sycamoregap tree. Take a look around your local area, at trees that are struggling, imagine losing them….. please go out & help your neighbourhood trees, water & care for them during this difficult time, they need our help 💚 #heatwave

Is anyone else noticing lots of tiny, young conkers on the floor under Horse Chestnuts this year? Do we think it is because of the lack of rain earlier in Spring? 😕 #climatechange

When getting a resin-bonded gravel drive, I worried toads/frogs might not be able to access my garden, so I put a toad ramp in. Wondered if it needed to be better positioned today but lifting it up, this little fella said it was in just the right place to rest under 😀🤎 @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social

So as we rush through June, do remember the @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social inspiring initiative this month #30dayswild - all about trying something “wild”, outdoors, connecting you to nature every day in June. Lie back & look at the clouds, sit under a tree etc slow down, relax & enjoy nature 😊💚🪲🦋🦇

#nomowmay has been a success (as always) in my garden, lovely buttercups, ragwort, Fox & Cubs plants have been enjoyed by pollinators galore & the birds have been catching them & feeding their young. Areas will be cut back but long areas will be left throughout the summer #30dayswild #wildlifegarden

“The figures may not add up but these are the ones we plucked out of thin air” is pretty much what this clown said on his free advert on @itvnews.bsky.social last night. Why does he get so much free advertising?

#NoMowMay doesn’t mean you have to have a wildlife jungle, just leave a few areas of your lawn less tidy; don’t overly trim the hedges (if you’ve got one) whilst birds are nesting in them & relax & take time out in a nature reserve rather than a show-space for weed killer & power tools #beemorewild

How lovely to watch the birds enjoying my bird bath. Goldfinch, Dunnock and a female Blackbird have all enjoyed it today. Do spare a space in your garden for wildlife #naturegardening

If only people who get stressed out by & hate wind turbines could take time out of their stress-filled (too much time online?) lives to just stand back & observe the creation of clean #green energy & imagine this clean, green land being carved up for coal mining again #climatechange 💚🩵🤍💚 #windpower

Beautiful starling #murmuration at @nottswildlife.bsky.social Attenborough nature reserve this week, one of the natural wonders of the world. A large group of humans just stood admiring & watching the swirls & swooshes in wonder 🖤

I’m lucky I have an insulin pump for my Type1 diabetes. The pharmaceutical industry doesn’t care about their #carbonfootprint
I’ve had broken & upgraded pumps over the years so I’m now returning them all to #medtronic so they can #recycle /dispose of them (they think I’m returning 1!!) #medicalwaste

I have just returned from a fabulous TigerTrek in central India with @naturetrek.bsky.social what a truly marvellous trip. A couple of special tiger moments and other wildlife galore including highly endangered Barasingha deer. What a great team looking after us 10 out of 10

Did anyone else do a face plant in the snow today? My colleague & I did on a work walk on fresh snow on a picnic table, SO invigorating & such fun #nobotoxrequired 🥶😃🤍
