My first rare pink cuttlefish (Sepia orbignyana) cuttlebone in the storm strand-line on the SW coast of the Isle of Wight! A tantalising glimpse of a very rarely seen cephalopod in our seas! #cuttlefish #marinebiology #marinebiodiversity #beachcombing

What an amazing display by these kingfishers – spotted by Rangers Charlotte and Dawn in Bembridge on the Isle of Wight 😮

The two birds show off plenty of synchronised bobbing with bills open, and then suddenly switch to attack mode 🥊

The Solent is visited by over 125,000 wading birds, ducks and geese every winter. Marine Champion Millie Payne tells us more about these much-admired seasonal visitors and why it's so important we avoid disturbing them 👇

Lots of restoration efforts around in the UK right now.

A wonderful two days, being totally humbled by the dedication and skills of our #SolentSeagrassChampions ! 500 seed pods and 13,500 #seagrass seed packed, and then deployed in 55 mins on the last useable low spring tide of the year!
