Delighted to identify a new addition to the Scottish / Icelandic 12s #Orca pod here in #Shetland yesterday. The new calf (right) looks to be 1-2 years old and joins 'Tili' (born 2016) as the youngest pod members. Thanks to Ryan Nisbet for pic and assisting with our photo-ID work.

Paddles up: Basking Shark cruising by our friend Simon off Levenwick, #Shetland a couple of days ago. The kayak measures 15.5ft (4.7 metres) - the Basking Shark looks pretty much the same length!

This is how I left each of my three campsites in the fells this weekend, nothing but a small patch of flattened grass. If you choose to camp away from a campsite there should be no evidence when you leave. Really easy to do unless you're a childish knuckle dragging arsehole 😉
