- Moments like this makes thesis writing a bit lighter 💚 Dec 25 parāoa/sperm whale surveys in Kaikōura #marinemammals #marinescience #whaletales
- Highly recommend for animal behaviour nerds!
- We've observed, on occasion, solo bubble-net feeding here in the Salish Sea, but we'd LOVE to see cooperative groups like they get in Alaska and now, apparently, northern BC. Hopefully this trend will continue to spread to southern BC and Washington! oceanographicmagazine.com/news/immigra...

- Another #weeklyvomit from pakake 🦭 Found close to this wee male on a sunny Ōtepoti beach - and full of kahawai! Check out how far the stones/gastroliths were spread. Must have been quite a spew 😳 #marinemammals #stemresearch #nzsealion
- This weeks prompt for #showmeyourknits had me thrown back to when I stopped the car in the middle of the road, and ran way up a hill to dig my fingers in snow. Pretty sure my partner, who I had just started dating, questioned my sanity... But I hadn't seen snow in nearly three years!! #knitsky 🧶
- Sweater is Sunday Cardigan by Petite Knit. A gift from mum so pretty sure yarn is some rough nordic blend from the family stash 😁
- Ever come across a #sealion in Aotearoa New Zealand? Please help our research project by filling out an anonymous survey 🦭 #marinemammals #research #wildlifeinteractions forms.office.com/r/c9StWWAmvp
- One of my favourite creations is the Rita Sweater from Not Perfect Knit 🤗 Pretty special when Rita and her granddaughter who made the pattern, Rikke, are friends of our family! Extra special when knitted in leftover DK yarn, from three sweaters I made for my partner ❤️ #knitsky #showmeyourknits 🧶
- 📍Luxmore Hut, Aotearoa New Zealand
- Wrapped up a year-long field season yesterday and already feeling nostalgic! So have decided to overdose my bsky in the coming months with a #weeklyvomit from pakake/NZ sea lions 🦭 This one features a prime example of Jack Mackerel 🐟 #marinemammals #pinniped #fieldwork
- Ōtepoti is looking for a great pinniped ranger with focus on community collaborations 🦭 #marinemammals #stemjob
- A Beachcomber Sweater made of indie dyed "Beach Glass Treasure" yarn. Knitting on it in between sperm whale surveys in the beautiful Kaikōura 🐋 Perfect for this weeks #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶
- Beachglass merino yarn is from Danish Siesto Fibres and held together with a grey mohair/silk strand from Kiwi Dye Studio 54
- Reposted by Hanna MariaIt's been a busy Easter for our volunteers! Most visitors and residents have been kind and supportive ❤️ But unfortunately we've seen some verbal abuse and near misses too 🙄 www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin...
- Granny came across the world to visit us a few years ago, so had an Estuary Shawl ready for her as we spent a lot of time exploring estuaries! Nothing better than gifts for the ones who have made homeknits for me throughout life ❤️ #showmeyourknits 🧶
- Another field trip turned into #wildliferescue yesterday. Heartbreaking to find a pup caught in discarded fencing! Incredibly lucky we were onsite and able to coordinate with local residents+authorities to get it off her asap. 📸 @nzsealiontrust.bsky.social #marinescience #stem 🧪 #fieldwork
- World's smallest #dolphin zoomies for #worlddolphinday 🔊 on for some extra effects...
- Don't have heaps of grey creations for this weeks #showmeyourknits but do have this lovely Oslo Hat, which was the very first thing I made for Tom (made sure to weave my hair into it...). He wore it on his first visit to the Skandi lands and is still his favourite go-to beanie ❤️ #knitsky 🧶
- Danish science magazine writes about history of Easter but completely neglects the fact a lot of our traditions are pre-christian. It's rooted in pagan spring/fertility celebrations - decorating eggs are an older tradition to us than any parts of the Bible! #history #reclaimtraditions
- A little bit about what I'm currently up to 🦭🐟🐙🦈 #science 🧪 #stemresearch #citizensciene #marinemammals
