A change from fish… an etching of Omelette, the abandoned Canada gosling we reared last year. He flew away in March but came back for lunch a couple of weeks later. Glad he’s independent, but we miss him. More goslings this year, but more attentive parents. #geese #etching

We have recently removed these illegal nets from the River Plym which were deployed by unlit small craft during the hours of darkness. We ask that the local community remain vigilant around slipways and when by the water’s edge of suspicious activity. plymouthport.org.uk/river-plym-ill…

Come along to ‘Print in Action’ at Ocean Studios, The Royal William Yard, tomorrow, from 10-4pm. Heaps of wonderful printmakers, talks and demonstrations. #printmaking #plymouth
