Day Six since @networkrail said they’d unblock the mortar in nest holes at #ChapelMilton. It’s not happened. #swifts spotted 21 miles away today. #saveourswifts #unblocktheholes @WriterHannahBT

@WriterHannahBT First swift of the year spotted this morning in Looe, Cornwall. 🥳

Did you know? Many of the creatures you see on the seashore when rock pooling started out as larvae in the plankton, like this shrimp larva. @zeiss_micro @natgeo

@B_Strawbridge Hi Brigit! It's great to see you're enjoying nature studies with A. Give me a shout if you want to explore the shore together again - especially if this sunshine lasts! 😊☀️

Please help stop the 'Guga hunt' a needless slaughter of Gannet chicks on a remote Scottish island - https://t.co/ZTPqARl2wU

@PaulClack76 Lovely finds! Glad you got out there before the weather clapped out. I'm hiding indoors this afternoon!

First dip back into the rockpools in SE Cornwall today, nice to see some old friends. Blue-rayed limpet, cushion starfish, gem anemone and shore rockling. @CornishRockPool

@thorogoodchris1 Fabulous! One of my favourite sea slugs (I have a lot). Please tell me you're going to go into slug illustrations? 🙏Junior & I are huge fans of your books. He's carnivorous plant-mad... and now also jumps out the car in excitement at the sight of a broomrape: your doing!😄
