Back to school? At BAS, that's Back to Pre-Deployment Training 💪

They're all at BAS HQ learning about everything from biosecurity to first aid. Say hello! 👋

Lonesome pine at Whitstable Harbour car park #thicktrunktuesday

This image has a bright blue background and features 18 cartoon-style penguins, each representing a different species. The penguins are arranged in three rows, with their names written underneath in black text. The species shown are Adelie, African, Chinstrap, Emperor, Erect-Crested, Fiordland, Galapagos, Gentoo, Humboldt, King, Little Blue, Macaroni, Magellanic, Rockhopper, Royal, Snares, and Yellow-Eyed. Each penguin has distinct features such as different colors, patterns, and head crests. The Emperor penguin is the tallest, while the Little Blue penguin is the smallest. The text at the bottom in bold black letters reads “KNOW YOUR PENGUINS,” followed by “Happy Penguin Awareness Day - January 20th” in a smaller font. There is also a small pink narwhal illustration in the bottom right corner.

Don't forget: today is Penguin Awareness Day. Make sure you know your penguins!

#PenguinAwarenessDay #20January

It’s the ciiircle of life 🎶🐧

This #PenguinAwarenessDay say hello to these fresh new gentoo penguin chicks.

Hatched in the Square Pond Colony near Bird Island Research Station, these penguins live on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. What a loud start to life!

#PenguinAwarenessDay is a ridiculous name for a day because everyone knows about penguins!

An extraordinary 700-year old bleeding yew tree at St Brynach's Church, Nevern, Pembrokeshire. If you look closely, you'll see that it's bleeding with a blood-red sap.
