Content Research Exec @wwf_uk. Have also run a marathon, leapt from a plane and cycled up 10,000ft of hill. Views are mine, my own, my precious.

@SW_Help Thanks, I've just done that. What are the next steps please?

[Jake Kendall-Ashton @KendallMintJake]

@SW_Help hi - I left my mobile phone on the 21.34 service this evening to Portsmouth Harbour. How can I find out if it has been handed in/collected by a guard please?

[Jake Kendall-Ashton @KendallMintJake]

@t_unwin BOOOOO! Arghh, this was such a James Vince thing to happen. I think the umpire should have pretended he didn't see it.

@t_unwin Of course, it's Kohli. The man's a freak!

Update: ...saw a glimpse of at least two chicks! 🐦🐦 Still featherless and eyes shut, so no older than 12/13 days – and still VERY noisy! 🎙🎶 #wildlife

OOOOH! Now what have we here?! 🤔🧐

Stumbled upon a twittering beech tree in the woods today and found what looks like a (gt. spotted?) woodpecker's nest hole! They prefer dead/dying trunks as the softer wood is easier to excavate 😯 Hoping @MikeWeedons can confirm though pls?

[Jake Kendall-Ashton @KendallMintJake]

...and just listen to 'em tinkling their hearts out! 😍🐦🎶 #birdwatching

@Ollie_Robinson2 @sophieraworth @JeffOvers She so big!

[Jake Kendall-Ashton @KendallMintJake]

@BrianE_Cambs @HantsIWWildlife Hmmm, well maybe if things get super desperate I'll go back for them!

Oooh sounds fantastic on the guide, best of luck with it 🌳👍

[Jake Kendall-Ashton @KendallMintJake]

What better time to brush up on foraging skills?!

This awesome jelly ear (Auricularia auricula-judae*) colony became my latest #fungi find on my #dailywalk 🍄👂 And despite their unappetising appearance, they're actually edible* when cooked... YUM! (* @BrianE_Cambs pls confirm!)

[Jake Kendall-Ashton @KendallMintJake]

@t_unwin To be fair, I'll take it!

[Dick King-Smith HQ @DickKingSmith]

To set off across the vast blue expanse.
To risk it all.
To go where no dog has gone before.
These are the things that sum up the spirit of adventure...

[Jake Kendall-Ashton @KendallMintJake]

@BrianE_Cambs Thanks very much, Brian! Currently making efforts to improve my fungi know-how, so chuffed with this 🙌

Hope you're very well!

[Jake Kendall-Ashton @KendallMintJake]

Funky #fungus find this afternoon 🔎🍄

Found on a dead, fallen pine branch, my (very) amateur ID'ing has led me to reckon it's Tremella mesenterica – also wonderfully known as witches' butter or yellow brain fungus – but hoping @BrianE_Cambs may be able to confirm pls?

[Jake Kendall-Ashton @KendallMintJake]

@Ollie_Robinson2 @AinsleyFoods 😍😍 Though should have been a knighthood, really, for that national treasure of a man

[Jake Kendall-Ashton @KendallMintJake]

Sunset magic from Beacon Hill in the South Downs National Park 😍

Also heard the skylark's joyous, tinkling song for the first time this decade! 🎶🐦
