Controversial opinion, but I think February is an underrated month. It has the biggest start-to-finish improvement of any month imo. It starts off in absolute deepest winter, and by the end you’ve got snowdrops and daffodils, birds singing, sunset just before 6pm.

How about alongside maths every student learns some natural history?? Can you imagine how much more our country would care about the environment, climate & wildlife if we felt a bit more attached to nature and understood what was around us!? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

Wow! 🐋 Don’t be fooled in thinking this is in Uk waters - South Orkney, Antarctica. The water is boiling with whales!

We found about 1000 fin whales over a 5x5 mile area off South Orkney. Blue and humpback also mixed in. Mind completely blown 🐳 @LindbladExp #NationalGeographicEndurance

On my way home, this happened for me right beneath the iconic Ardnamurchan Lighthouse. It has to be one of the happiest and most joyful wildlife encounters I’ve been fortunate to experience. (Video of this incredible moment to follow) 😊

What an incredible photo of a tuna off Watergate Bay, Cornwall this weekend. Let’s hope we see more of these & other apex predators return in numbers as we create highly protected marine areas. #oceanrecovery @sascampaigns 💙🌊🌍🌱 📸: Megan Hemsworth:@surfsistas

Unreal footage of orcas in Strangford Lough this evening. The background gives a sense of scale and the voices in the video really demonstrate the power of nature.

Ending up with the biggest #coronavirus death toll in Europe is truly terrible Ending up with the biggest #coronavirus death toll in Europe *when we had a number of weeks to literally see how to prevent it* is a catastrophic, historic, national scandal
