At just a few days old, Briar found himself hungry and alone on the shores of Rathlin Island after his mother left him. 🥺

It's not Ireland but it would be rude not to share this. @BaskingSharkSco
Weather looking good for Saturday, we need 4 more people to run our lagoon snorkel trip. Real struggle to get enough numbers on trips this spring. Come join us for an epic day out! #snorkeling #wildswimming #oban #isleofmull

We're so EGGcited to share that our gentoo chicks have started to hatch!
First to become parents again this year were Muffin and Mittens. The pair welcomed a chick of their own on 3 May and are also fostering a second youngster 🐧

During the cold spell if you come across seals, observe from a distance; keep dogs on lead & dont chase, touch or feed them. Its against the law to disturb them. If you think a seal is injured or distressed call @ExplorisNI on 07701 372623 @nidirect @NI_LGA @NIMTF @EnvironmentNI

Apparently the final few days before this amazing turtle moves on from @ExplorisNI to Tenerife. Wish I could go, at least the weather would be better 🌞🤣. @ANDborough @LoveBallymena @Love_Antrim @NITouristBoard @WeatherCee @barrabest @Louise_utv @MinfordEmma – at Ballymena, Northern Ireland

on the 7th of December I rescued an injured seal at Kilroot Powerstation In Carrickfergus. I had to walk 2 miles with this wild, snapping animal in my arms. Today after 3 months rehab @ExplorisNI I got to release “Goofy” back into the wild. Seals can live 30 - 40 years 😭😭😭
