Hi everyone! I put together a one minute animation for dyspraxia awareness week, showing how this lesser known neurodiversity impacts people and then a bit about my book to be published in January! I hope people find it useful!

It's Dyspraxia Awareness Week!

Please share this information video we commissioned from dyspraxic animator Charlotte O'Neill, explaining a bit about dyspraxia (aka developmental coordination disorder). The video is suitable for school-aged kids, so share widely.

A throwback to 6 days I spent on Skokholm Island this summer whilst writing my thesis. It gave me a lot more time to hang out with the awesome puffin colony there.

Had a great time at Worcester Swan Sanctuary yesterday! This sanctuary was originally created to protect the swans from lead fishing weights, and now contains a large population throughout the year. #birds #birding @worcswt.bsky.social

It was great to lead a workshop for @reservaylt.bsky.social today on the use of animation in conservation messaging, how people can animate themselves and the 12 animation principles. Thank you for having me! :)

I had the honour of reading an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an endorsement, which uses a combination of engaging & approachable language to introduce readers to #Dyspraxia in a context that can easily be understood. Plus @oneill-lotty.bsky.social is #Dyspraxic herself 🙂

Dyspraxia is something that will never go away, and I often wondered how it has affected me. meerkatmusings.co.uk?p=3524 #Dyspraxia

Meerkat Prompts: Dyspraxia

I’ve briefly touched upon this before, but I thought it could be something explored in more detail. I have dyspraxia (not to be confused with dyslexia), a condition that affects motor skills …

This is an interesting blog! Especially the bit about the vitamins, it's a part of Dyspraxia that is so often not discussed!

You can pre-order the book from here www.hachette.co.uk/titles/charl... and read it's current reviews!

This book was created over the past four years, in which I also completed a bachelors degree and worked full time, so the majority of my spare time went into this!

I would like to do a walk to raise some money for a #dyspraxia cause this autumn. As Dyspraxia foundation no longer exists, does anyone have any suggestions? General neurodiversity charities work too!

Hi Bluesky,

My friends cat has been missing for the past few days. If anyone in the UK could share, that would be great. If any of you see him, please let me know. Let's try and get Rolo home.

Would you attend this puffin wedding?

'You may now kiss the bride!'

Did you know that multiple puffins will often get involved in a pairs beak touching courtship behaviour? This one took part but then stepped back a bit.

Two puffins touch beaks as others surround them, looking like a wedding.

I think the Atlantic Puffins have got to be one of my favourite birds to photograph. This gathering is commonly called a Circus of Puffins, taken in The Farne Islands #birds
