Spurilla neapolitana were first recorded in the UK in September 2025. I saw one, and then four more, for the first time today in Falmouth! we also saw two Babakina anadoni, first recorded in the UK in 2023. Both species have pushed their distributions northwards by arriving in Cornwall.

Bottlenose, Risso’s, and Common dolphins made an appearance at the two national whale & dolphin week surveys (organised by the Seawatch Foundation) that I joined in on over the last two weekends. Lizard point & Sennen Cove also turned the weather on - couldn’t ask for much more!

A snow bunting, some seal pups, and maerl beds have been the wildlife highlights of the isle of skye & the highlands this week! * please keep your distance when watching wildlife, especially nesting birds / seals, these photos were taken with lots of zoom! *
