What a fabulous few days studying seaweed in Pembrokeshire, with no less than all four co-authors of the 'Seaweeds of Britain and Ireland' seasearch book. Feeling very privileged to be in the presence of such experts, sharing their knowledge with such patience 🙏🏻❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🌊🪸

Happy Birthday to Sir David Attenborough. Never before in our lifetime has any other individual shared so much engaging knowledge and understanding of the natural world around us.

His life and legacy are a treasured gift for all of us, for many more decades. May this day be truly blessed and celebrated for these reasons. In gratitude and awe, thank you David for all that you are, and all that you will continue to be ❤️🙏🏻🌊🌍

Fab morning with River Esk Connect - REConnect project, taking part in their egg case hunt. We found a small-eyed ray egg case, and I learnt how to make a whistle from dried Egg Wrack. Oh and a first for seeing a real sea mouse!
