Can you imagine a #WorldWithoutNature? For #WorldWildlifeDay we're joining WWF UK, other eNGOs, well-known brands, sports teams & many others, removing nature from our logo to highlight the importance of our natural world. A world without nature is a world that is incomplete.

Keep your eyes peeled in #Scilly too! 🪲 There are two records from the Islands (specifically Tresco Island) from decades ago. It is likely they arrived on driftwood & aren't resident; but, who knows?! Join the Search for the Strandline Beetle 👇 @scillybirds St Martin’s Ecologist

Yesterday's beautiful #StormKathleen casualty stranded here in #Scilly, a #VioletSeaSnail (Janthina janthina) with bubble raft. Findings during my lifetime have increased hughly, from possibly one or two a year if you were lucky to now 20 or more #IslandLife #OceanDrifter

Found today on a #Scilly beach, #UK. 🤔 Can anyone confirm if it is, as it seems, a 1984 #Canadian tag?? If so, are you able to also confirm the rough area it would have been used in? #IslandLife #OceanDrifter #CanadianFishery #OceanDetective

The #Aurora from #Scilly last night Absolutely mesmerising & visible with the naked eye for much of the time, not like the camera captures it, but still beautiful #IslandLife #OceanDrifter #AuroraBorealis #IOS Kernow Weather Team

We've made our mark but, who cares? (Rt if you care). Plastic pollution at the scale of the phytoplankton. Every inshore plankton sample I collect contains microplastics. (This was sampled yesterday) ZEISS Microscopy

There are an estimated 3 million sunken vessels in the #ocean, over 8,500 of which are classified as ‘potentially polluting wrecks’. With leaks expected to reach their highest levels within ten years, what can we do? Our Issues Brief explains bit.ly/41f0ple

It's only May but I've just had my first hatching of #FlyingAnts here in #Scilly 🐜 No pictures as they're rather annoyingly in the house & the main focus has been trying to get them out the door! 🐜 #FlyingAntDay #IslandLife #OceanDrifter Royal Entomological Society BWARS

Sat drinking coffee, listening to a very vocal & noisy 🦗 #GrasshopperWarbler just outside my house - thanks for confirming ID from the dodgy video I sent @dub_birder! 🎶 It always amazes me how such tiny creatures can make such big sounds. #Scilly #IslandLife #OceanDrifter
