On my FB memories today, 10yrs ago I was commissioned to create a charity Christmas card design for Sherborne Abbey. I was really flattered to have been asked. I still miss doing my graphic design/illustration.

It’s me, Gruff! Do a few cute poses for treatos 🙂🙂🙂

Listen on the @BBCr4today programme around 8.40 this morning as I talk about and celebrate the curious yet cuddly Puffin - new biography just out! @ChattoBooks @DHHlitagency

Huge numbers of geese at the Eden estuary by St Andrews, Fife. What a glorious sight. Hundreds of thousands of migratory geese arrive in Scotland each autumn from the Arctic, Iceland, Greenland and Norway. And they don’t need a taxpayer funded hotel to accommodate them.

The complete set of bird biographies - including the newest on the Puffin - on display in Foyles today! @ChattoBooks

From empowering rangers to unlocking investment in nature - two days of impact, innovation, and partnership in Mombasa. Yesterday, our team in Kenya joined the British High Commission in Mombasa for an inspiring showcase of British-funded projects making a difference across the country. We showcased our work in Ranger Empowerment, strengthening law enforcement while building positive relationships between rangers and communities, alongside our anti-bushmeat campaign - both supported by the Darwin Initiative. We also demonstrated the live use of SERCA technology to monitor wild dogs, highlighting how innovation is strengthening conservation efforts. Today, we took the conversation from conservation impact to investing in nature. At a roundtable convened by the Mombasa Chamber of Commerce, alongside the Deputy High Commissioner, we engaged business leaders on the growing opportunities for nature-positive investment. Our spotlight? The Human-Wildlife Coexistence (HWCx) Outcome Bond - an innovative approach demonstrating how business and investment can help mobilise sustainable finance for people and wildlife to thrive together. 🌍 The message is clear: Conservation cannot rely on traditional funding alone. We need bold partnerships, innovative finance, and businesses ready to invest in a nature-positive future. A big thank you to the British High Commission, the Mombasa business community, and all partners driving this important conversation. The future of conservation is collaborative. The future of nature finance is now.

Look pals! M&D are in Cheltenham and they have been to @bemorebob2 to get me a present, in recompense for leaving us again. I can’t wait for them to get home (3 more sleeps) so I can start playing with it. Dad was very taken with Dolly❤️

Morning all. Note to self. Don’t do a bit of washing up in a cold house with a thick fleece on and then sit and try and do some more work on your drawing straight after. My right sleeve was wet and I’ve leant on & blistered my paper! So annoyed with myself! #art #drawing #dogs
