It’s David Attenborough’s 98th birthday today and I was lucky enough to meet him on a habitat conservation project last year. My mum had met him a few years earlier and had always held it over me, so it was mainly just a relief to get even with her!

I’m excited to be working with @WWTLondon to bring my #QueerEcology walks to London Wetland Centre in June. I’ve had over 650 people join my walks over the last year and it’s always exciting to bring them to a new space.

I spent some time dredging a pond with Aaron Paul today.
Raking Bad! . You never know who you’ll bump into in @theroyalparks. Our learning teams today assisted Hollywood star @aaronpaul_8 after his friend accidently dropped a phone into the Italian Gardens in Kensington Gardens. Thankfully it was retrieved before 'Breaking Bad'.
