Out looking for 🐳s today but stumbled across one of the busiest 🦭 beaches I've seen in Cornwall! Around 12 greys swimming in the surf and a surprise harbour seal (not a frequent sight in the southwest) playing with the largest male there! Some sweet fulmars watching on from there nests too.

Finally attended my first marine mammal post-mortem yesterday evening with the team at Cornwall Marine Pathology!🥼

It was fascinating to assist in examining these two adult common 🐬s. Incredible how much valuable data can be collected from these for so much further research🧑‍🔬🔬

More photo progressions! Surfing and landscapes around the Cornish coast〓〓

As I’m learning to use a new DSLR for wildlife and nature photography, here’s a short progression of my birding photos so far!🐦

Hi! I’m Jack, a BSc Marine Bio student with @exetermarine.bsky.social, originally from Leicestershire.

I’ve found my love for marine life, 🦭s in particular through volunteering at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary, so expect to see updates on my final year research with the rehab pups!💙

Christening my Bluesky by sharing some moments from my week at the #UKIRSC25 conference held by @marinemammalogy.bsky.social at @uniofstandrews.bsky.social.

Had a great time exploring this part of the country for the first time, making friends and being inspired by everyone’s shared passion!!
