I'm a biologist & wildlife enthusiast, spending much of my spare time helping in the running of MARINElife, a cetacean & seabird research and education charity.

A previously extinct butterfly will fly in its former English stronghold today for the first time in more than 40 years as part of the ambitious #BackFromTheBrink conservation programme. https://t.co/lxnVbQMi4H @natureBFTB#ChequeredSkipper#ThursdayThoughts

Sad to see! During the Southampton–Santander trip, our surveyor counted 35 balloons, with most (27) being in the English Channel! Marine life can mistake these for food, or get entangled in the string, leading to a slow and painful death. Remember: don't let go; #balloonsblow!
