Natural fly control from our summer visitors. We’ve had more swallow nests in the buildings than I have ever seen at Strickley, 9 nests, all had 2 broods fledge with some managing a third. There’s no shortage of food for them on an organic dairy farm. I love seeing them fly 💚

Has anyone noticed these orange markings on their crawfish this year? I’ve had a quick research but can’t find anything conclusive. All fish seemed healthy but interesting almost every fish caught that day had some on 👀 Not something I’ve seen on them before

Really interesting examination of this seal. Pregnant adult female in good nutritional condition- found a large, recently ingested flatfish wedged headfirst into the entrance to the nasal cavity and obstructing the trachea, likely causing asphyxiation...

ZSL Science BDMLR Suffolk & Norfolk We've seen instances of prey related asphyxiation in cetaceans, but can't recall any in seals. Looks like our friends in Belgium and Netherlands have seen numerous cases on their side though... zoogdiervereniging.nl/sites/default/…

Super interesting find! The fact that this was a sole doesn’t surprise me in the least. Sole love to have the last word, sand sole in particular are the hardest to measure fish out there I reckon 😅

The horrifying reality of being a woman, perfectly summarised by Cait O'Ryan If you give even the slightest shit about women, watch it all. This is what it’s like.

This week after an insightful interview with Ashmika Motee on navigating menstruation in challenging environments & a lovely email from UK Women in Fisheries the importance of women supporting each other in the fishing industry is clear. Excited to see female research & communities evolve ❤️

plymouth.ac.uk/study/research… - Awesome PhD for the right candidate with practical use for supporting the diversification, and therefore robustness, of the south west fishing fleet.

Happy birthday to Mabel. Despite her occasional worries about the world, she would follow you to the ends of it. Which she proved again a couple of days ago.

Going to be an interesting session on the future of fishing and offshore renewable energy. #UKfisheries

I’ve finally made the jump over to BlueSky 🐠 If I’m not already following you on there then let me know, trying to make my feed as fishy as possible!
