Harbour porpoise stranded dead in my local beach. Reported to #cetationwatch. Fascinating if a little gruesome. #seawatch #stranding

What can you spot? We've got some lovely (albeit blink-and-you-miss-it) footage from the gully running through Spring Gill. A lovely wild Eurasian otter was spotted earlier this week having a mooch around!

We love seeing what wildlife is around when we aren't!

We love fungi - not just for their weird & wonderful names, but also their unique colouring, shapes & sizes.

Our team have recently done a survey & there have been some fantastic highlights incl jelly babies, parrot waxcap & poison pipe!
