How did the toads cross the road?

February 24, 2020

It was the quiet between two storms that were battering the UK. Storm Ciara had passed and Storm Dennis was imminent.

The sky overhead was a leaden grey, … More How did the toads cross the road?

A day exploring Stanley in the Falklands. And what a glorious day! A new blog about my adventures in the Southern Ocean with @orca_web and @hxexpeditions. This time its the wonderful wildlife on and around Carcass Island, The Falklands... whales, LBJs and a super intelligent bird of prey. A weekend camping and bird ringing. Lots of young birds around in moult so looking rather scruffy! A weekend celebrating my oldests 11th birthday with family in Cornwall. Happy World Whale and Dolphin Day. Reflecting on the incredible encounters I had this March when down in the Southern Ocean with @orca_web and @hxexpeditions Imperial or Blue-eyed Shag. Such striking birds. These were nesting amongst the Black-browed Albatross on New Island, The Falklands POV You visit an amazing black-browed albatross breeding colony on New Island, The Falklands and are blown away... both literally (it was super windy) and emotionally (albatross chicks are beyond cute!) A beautiful moment between an adult black-browed albatross and its young taken on New Island, The Falklands this March. Its not just people struggling with this heat. These buff-tailed bumblebees took over our nest box earlier in the year. But the heat of the last couple of days has meant the box is too hot inside. As a result the bees have been coming out, sitting on the outside and fanning their wings in order to cool down. This behaviour is called 'bearding'.
