  1. New episode of LIFE UNEARTHED on PBS today! I journey from the frozen depths of Antarctica to the sweeping grasslands of the North American prairies. Stream it on the PBS app, Apple TV and Amazon. www.pbs.org/show/life-un... #prairie #grassland #nature #naturedocumentary #pbs

  2. Tonight our teenage daughter asked if we could rewatch the old Cane Toad documentary, An Unnatural History. We’d played it for her when she was much younger and it had stuck with her. It’s still a cracker documentary, in equal measures informative and alarming and hilarious. One of the best. Also, it ends with a theme song written and sung by Tim Finn of Split Enz and Crowded House fame.

    Worth a watch if you’ve not seen it.

  4. CW: minor surgery, queasy?

    1/?
    Into clinic for small elliptical excision related to #SkinCancer.
    Local anaesthetic, 90 minutes if skin too tight, 45 if enough skin-stretch to close simply.

    I arrive early, day has gone well, pleased with my level of relaxation.
    Waiting room has #NatureDocumentary - #MonterayBay canyon, orcas, hunting & killing whale calf.
    Out the door to fresh air, queasy, pissed with clinic's UX.
    (Relaxation & grounding have me back to having a sense of humour after 15 minutes.)

  5. Borrowing this from Wader Quest's fb page.
    "This is a fantastic video, it's about the relatively recent and vital discovery of the importance of biofilm, that green slime on the surface of mudflats.
    It seems that this substance is invaluable to migrating waders and, in this case, particularly to the delightful Western Sandpiper, a declining species. The video highlights their reliance on this food source for their very survival. Without it, they would be malnourished, meaning most would not be able to complete their migration and many would simply die. This would cause a decline in the population since, as a species. they would not be able to breed in sufficient numbers to maintain the population, which ultimately could lead to their extinction. Roberts Bank in British Columbia, Canada is a globally classified Important Bird Area and a key stopover for Western Sandpipers. Distressingly, its mudflats and their biofilm covering, are threatened by the proposed expansion of the Fraser Port Authority, the so-called Roberts Bank T-2 development. If allowed to go ahead this would mean additional significant habitat loss that would further endanger the species. This situation typifies a wider crisis affecting waders across the planet, highlighting the urgent need for collaboration among researchers, conservationists, and communities to protect these vital ecosystems, and the species that use them, which are becoming increasingly at risk of extinction."
