Good morning from the #humpbackhighway #Australia

When you add your own book to Rick Stein’s book collection. #HumpbackHighway with the real humpback highway behind. I’ll be leaving this one behind so others can enjoy and learn. All in the name if science communication! Time for my author long table lunch! richard glover

A gorgeous morning #whalewatching with my eldest calf enjoying our first sunrise with a cuppa and hot chocolate. I’m teaching him about how the #ocean changes with the weather and how whales may change their behaviour. Thank you @bannistershotels for the most amazing time.

Waking up to the terrible news that #Hvaldimir the world famous #beluga #whale has died. Cause of death not yet known…. Here’s my last article on him in The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand theconversation.com/a-russian-spy-…

Two #furseals on the Sydney Opera House steps. Wildsydneyharbour is learning more about the many fur seals which hang out here. Talk about a great location for a touch of #citizenscience. A great example showing that there is more than one #Sydney Opera House fur seal 🦭

A fab author long table lunch hosted by Bannisters at #Mollymook, #Australia. A learning lunch for all ages, from ages 1 to 90. Great to share stories from the #humpbackhighway, especially with locals who had a new perspective on their blue backyard. #whaleon #scicomm #book

I have lots of questions regarding this footage… and the growth of #whale swim tourism here in #Australia is only likely to expand… #whaleon Rob Harcourt Macquarie University

Hvaldimir aka the "spy #whale" has been found dead off the coast of #Norway. A necropsy is being performed. #Hvaldimir was discovered in 2019 wearing a Russian harness. I've been following his story since 2019. I spoke with ABC News about this complex human-#wildlife situation.

I interrupt #mum /(calf 🐳🐳) duties to inform you that today is the day! I've just made a special post via LinkedIn. I shall make it X modified shortly...

I'm so devastated to hear #Hvaldimir, the famous “Spy” #beluga #whale was shot dead in Norway. So many things to discuss here. A swimming beacon of hope for some and a nightmare for others. This is very sad and a very interesting story. bbc.com/news/articles/…
