Anyone know what this is? Found in a rockpool on the Shiant isles, about 2-3cm across and pulsed occasionally (not attached to the substrate). #jellyfish #cnidaria #marinebiology #marineinvertebrates

Had an absolutely fantastic time visiting the #Shiants with NatureScot Got to see many beautiful seabirds, experience these amazing islands, and worked with some fantastic people. And it's wonderful being able to contribute to vital seabird survey data. Feeling so lucky!

Some non-marine #Shiants wildlife!

And some bits of the #Shiants themselves...

Seabirds, such as kittiwakes, gannets, and puffins, are key indicators of marine health. Paulo Bessa has spent the past week as part of a NatureScot team surveying seabird populations on the Shiant Isles. In today’s blog he explains why. #WorldOceansDay orlo.uk/Yrc8o

Finished skeletonizing this hyacinth macaw today & made this cranial kinesis vid. Full vid on the WitmerLab FB.
