Hi there little one! Seal pup season is back, so keep your eyes peeled if you're taking in some fresh air near the #Yorkshire coast. This beautiful grey seal baby pic is from Brian Matthews and it must be the cutest baby ever! #nature #wildlife #staysafe

It really is a magical place :)

Remember, remember... that it's the time of year when hedgehogs like to snuggle under piles of leaves. So please make sure you check for them if you're tidying up the garden #hedgehogs #autumn

We humans might not enjoy the wet weather at this time of year, but for fungi it's just heaven. This is a Shaggy Ink Cap apparently... #nature #fungi
