Day Six since @networkrail said they’d unblock the mortar in nest holes at #ChapelMilton. It’s not happened. #swifts spotted 21 miles away today. #saveourswifts #unblocktheholes @WriterHannahBT

Did you know? Many of the creatures you see on the seashore when rock pooling started out as larvae in the plankton, like this shrimp larva. @zeiss_micro @natgeo

First dip back into the rockpools in SE Cornwall today, nice to see some old friends. Blue-rayed limpet, cushion starfish, gem anemone and shore rockling. @CornishRockPool

Being quiet, paddlers freak seals out more than most other activities - unlike a boat, seals can't hear you coming!
Please follow Defra Marine and Coastal Wildlife Code & keep at least 100m+ from coastal or offshore rocks!

All political parties must do much more to protect & restore nature:
❌ Ban industrial fishing in Marine Sanctuaries
🛢️Stop new offshore oil drilling
💩End the sewage scandal
☣️Hold polluters to account

My book What the Wild Sea Can Be is out next month. I’m off to festivals and book shops to talk about the future of the ocean.
Can't wait to share hopes and fears for life in the seas, and hear how readers make connections to the blue parts of our planet.
