Also arriving late on the scene are the Fulmar chicks, which have been appearing since 30th June. It's hard to get a glimpse as the parents keep them well hidden at this stage, but just occasionally one peeps out to say hello

🕊️ Today is #WorldSeabirdDay, marking the 1844 extinction of the Great Auk. Seabirds still face major threats—bycatch, pollution & habitat loss.
Just weeks ago, #WorldAlbatrossDay reminded us: thousands of seabirds die yearly in fisheries. Let’s act. 🌊🐦 #ACAP
Can’t wait for this conversation

You can't, on one hand, promote intensive farming policies that drench ALL our peatlands in ammonia, slowly killing them, and at same time celebrate their biodiversity and carbon sequestration
Or can you?

🎉Happy #WorldPeatlandsDay
👉Peatlands are wetlands that store vast amounts of carbon, which play a crucial role in regulating our climate. They are also vital habitats for biodiversity providing a home for unique plants and animals.

Hard to believe but today marks the 8 year anniversary of free soloing el cap! Time flies. I’m still so grateful to the whole team for working on the climb with me and documenting it in the film. It was such an all star crew and such a great adventure (though obviously stressful at the time…).
Now I’m married with two kids and a house. How life changes!
