This is Mac, a new friend we made yesterday at @scottish_owl_centre. Mac is quite possibly the first short-eared owl to be bred in captivity for more than 30 years. Soon he will be joining the flying display team! We were so lucky to meet him as a short-eared owl is a very special (magical) character in the manuscript I finished today. Today vs one year ago - doing @bdmlr_uk refresher training on a stunning day at Cramond, almost exactly a year after I first trained as a Marine Mammal Medic on a wild grey day on the west coast. 🐋🌊 Scottish Wild Food Festival. Thank you for the beautiful first pic @martafuego 📸 Lunchtime acorn hunting 🌳 Happy birthday @kath_philp ❤️ Last day of hot girl summer, bring on non binary autumn 🍂 The Lost Whale by @hannahgold_author has been one of my favourite reads this year - a beautiful tale about falling in love with the ocean, mental health and citizen science! So inspiring that I finally got stuck into Shorewatch after training in 2021 (back then I had to go to Fife but now there is a watch site not far from me). Since then, Shorewatch has been seeing me through some stressful times and is always a source of joy! No marine mammals spotted on my watch yet but I did see gulls feeding around a fishing boat this morning 🌊 Woodland Camp 8/12. We returned to our January campsite on the edge of the woods and the water at Tyninghame, but this time with @itsrebeccalucy ❤️ Seals and crabs and seabirds, good food and a good night’s sleep, and a fry-up for breakfast with @kath_philp. I’m so glad I gave up on my wet solo camp last week and we fit this in instead! Home away from home for the last five weeks. I am really going to miss lurking around this old mine like a friendly ghost in dungarees. And my weekly (sometimes daily) bubble tea and gyoza 🥲 Badgers! Badgers!!! With my favourite family the Andersons at @wildhaweswater 🦡 @sophieandersonauthor
