Congratulations to this year's #WildlifePhotographerOfTheYear Laurent Ballesta! 🏆 He dived day and night in Fakarava, French Polynesia, to capture his image, Creation. It shows the annual spawning of camouflage groupers. #WPY57 #WPYAwards @NHM_WPY nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2021…

Adventuring: January 2020 Vs January 2021... Hiking in the polar night in Svalbard has become exploring the mountains of Norway via #AssassinsCreedValhalla I can't wait to visit some real life mountains again but until then I'm so grateful for this incredible game! 😍

Feeling festive yet? Well, here’s the Bridgend town centre Christmas tree, with added Pied Wagtails. Dozens are roosting in there at present.

In some parts of the world, the lakes alligators live in freeze over in the winter. So how do these large reptiles survive under the ice?
Hagfishes - most excellent.

Hagfishes have been described as 'disgusting' and 'repulsive,' but we would have to strongly disagree. Hagfishes are excellent. #HagfishDay nhm.ac.uk/discover/how-much-…

Because everyone in museums & heritage from FOH to BOH is over qualified & underpaid. We work for love, not money & more or less all of us have worked for free in a museum.

Interviewed by a researcher who has interviewed people across a load of sectors about experiences with furlough. He said those in museums and heritage were the ones who most defined themselves through their work and I can't stop thinking about this.
