Leaping from the water is a creature the size of a tall human: an Atlantic bluefin tuna.

Until recently, a rare sight in UK waters. Why have they returned, and what can we do to keep them here? @exetermarine.bsky.social and @twhorton.bsky.social ‬investigate.

You’ve just brushed your dog and collected a handful of fur, which you leave out for nesting birds. What if this well-meaning act is actually harming the very wildlife you’re trying to help? A new study examines how a seemingly innocent material can be deadly.

The burning question: can we limit warming to 1.5°C, while still continuing to build fossil fuel infrastructure and open new extraction fields? According to analysis by @fergusgreen.bsky.social, the only answer is no. We need a new social norm: 💥 ✊ No. New. Fossil. Fuels. ✊ 💥

To protect the ocean, look to the people who know it best. This partnership between scientists and fishermen delivered multiple cups of boat-brewed coffee, and a big win for sharks and rays.

Happy birthday to this legend 💚

RSPB @rspb.bsky.social · May 8

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

They're back! 😍

The sky comes alive with today’s #SpringArrivalSpotlight - Swifts!

Screaming overhead in joyful bursts, these aerial acrobats make their return to summer nesting sites.

Eating, sleeping & even mating on the wing – they're with us for just a few short months.
