This looks so happy and healthy now - well done, team

Listening to soundscapes from Simon was a somber and moving example of how our natural world is changing around us, in so many ways.

Such an informing and moving interview for my @bbcradio3bot.bsky.social series ‘Symphony of the wild’

@uniofeastanglia.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social

I’ve always said we need more dinosaurs on the @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social campus, to be fair! Maybe a library-guarding Allosaur?

One of my favourite interviews in a long time …

You’re right … and each episode could have been an hour long. As you can imagine, there’s so much to get in each slot.

There are highbrow jokes right next to poop jokes … should hit the mark haha

Technically 5+ but you can definitely read them to younger dog-lovers, and to be fair, my 70+ dad stole my proof copy last week ‘to read again because it’s funnier than I’d expected’ … if that helps :)

It’s our #BookBirthday today - the fourth in my series following the life and times of my dog Jack Jack … from his humble origin story, to mammoth adventures and facing his arch enemy, these are some lovely books for young (and older) animal lovers.

I haven’t even seen this yet … Hope you’ve enjoyed it :)

Anyone lucky enough to share their life with a dog, happy #InternationalDogDay

My one and only run with Jack was successfully caught on drone, 100% misrepresenting him!

Well done!

Just 23 short of 90,000 - go on, be the person who tips us over so we can then focus on 100,000. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Thanks David, hope you’re well

Very pleased to be part of the work being done by @humanists.uk

At a time when so much seems so divisive, where beliefs (or lack of them) can see countless lives ruined or taken, and when nature is under constant attack, we need to be driven by logic, reasoning and a link with the world around us.

Head and shoulders shot of Ben. He’s smiling and has had a beard trim and hair cut. He’s wearing dark-rimmed rounded glasses. He has a blue shirt and dark blue cord jacket.
