We watched this wonderful little female otter for about half an hour on Islay this morning.. several ballan wrasse and swimming crabs brought ashore to eat on the rocks. Only a few of our Rewilding Field Course students were up but they were treated to some fantasist views and behaviour..

Fortunate to have the black and white casqued hornbill pose very nicely for us. Out on the edge of Kagamega Forest collecting mud. Presumably to help his partner seal herself into their nest hole. #ornithology #birding #kenya @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social @ibisjournal.bsky.social 🦜🦅🪶🌍🇿🇦

Large shearwaters like these greats have been numerous in the southwest this year (and recent years). Wondering if it is linked to the increase in Atlantic bluefin as they often associate with one another in feeding frenzies. #ukbirding #ornithology #seabirds
