Excuse me... a tiny Lapwing has toddled into your feed. 🥹
A fluffy Lapwing chick stands on a path with oversized legs and tiny feet, looking as though it's setting off on an important little adventure. Its soft cream, brown and black down contrasts with the beautifully blurred green background.

Yesterday our Sefton Coast team had a great day networking at the flood and coast expo in Liverpool. It was fascinating learning more about flood protection and coastal engineering. Bit windy down on the old docks! #FC2026 #CIWEM

I'm exploring how @coastsinmind.bsky.social can help address the gap between formal evidence systems and the lived realities of those most affected by coastal change. Supported by Coast-R Network. #CoastsInMind #ArchiveToAction #CoastR www.ukcoastalresilience.org/project/arch..

Great to spend day 1 of #FestivalofArchaeology at Altcar Rifle range with 22 Mersey & Dee Young archaeologists @yac-cba.bsky.social. Thanks to @coastsinmind.bsky.social for a fantastic session recording the Cold War anti-aircraft positions with scale drawings, photogrammetry & a drone #SkillBuilding

We're delighted that the public contribution system for our digital map launched today! Have you got photos, postcards, or video showing how the coast has changed since 1925? Then we'd love you to add your memories to the map to help plot how our coastline is changing cim.mola.org.uk/map/contribute

In Dec we had the joy of running a TAG session on the arts & archaeology. Since then Kit's worked hard to map all the contributions. From interpretative dance and flash poetry to the voice of a slate mine. Come explore our session storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/165a... #TAG2025 #yorkTAG #archaeology

Hello world, it's nice to be here! We'll be helping communities map the impact of climate change on some of our most vulnerable coastlines. We're based in Sefton, North Devon, the Swale Estuary, and Poole Harbour. See how your coast changes and help record it. Thanks to #NationalLottery players
