You shameless fucker.
You are the very worst of mankind.

Storm birds - the dark and stormy season is in full swing here in #Shetland

A Grey Sea Slug predating a hapless Beadlet Anemone in one of the rockpools on my beach. Some marine predators here in #Shetland receive disproportionate human attention, but there's plenty more to see if one only looks a little more closely.

A surreal and incredible moment flying along the front of the massive Store Glacier in Greenland as we embarked on filming the calving sequence as seen on BBC Frozen Planet 2 last night. #FrozenPlanet2

An amazing arrival of Sparrowhawk here Fair Isle Bird Obs in the past two days - a conservative count of 17 across the isle today is a record day count by some margin

Rainbow? Jellyfishbow? 🌈 whatever it’s called it makes me happy 😊

Goodbye, Freya.

A blameless Walrus killed this morning by #Norway 's @fiskeridir simply for being inconvenient. Apparently the decision to shoot her was for her 'well-being'.

An astonishing and repugnant act. What the hell is wrong with people?

Late June is a delightful time to be on Fair Isle, when the coast is ribboned with freshly blooming sea thrift. I time my trips to coincide with this explosion of colour.

Not a bird you’d imagine in early August- this stunner of a Harlequin Duck was quite a find for SN colleague Dave Cooper (pic) yest & 1st day highlight for bespoke photo-tour client from New Zealand! James also scored Orca with our other photo-tour for guests from US day before

So well camouflaged I didn’t even spot it when taking this image! 🐙

If there's one wildflower that loves a cool, damp #Shetland summer, it's Ragged Robin. This year's proving to be a superb one for it, with a profuse and prolonged flowering of this graceful plant.

Bombing around the cliffs on a breezy day, it definitely looks like they are having fun.
