Today we are celebrating these big brained beauties, as it is officially #WorldMantaDay 🌊 Did you know these gentle giants may recognise themselves in the mirror, and are able to create mental maps of their environment through smell and visual cues?

Sadly the theme of this year’s World Manta Day is ‘Mantas in a Climate Crisis’. According to the Manta Trust, as the oceans warm there will be a predicted 10% reduction in zooplankton biomass globally, a major problem for manta rays as this is their only food source. Ocean acidification also threatens coral reefs, which mantas use as cleaning stations.

To find out more about these amazing fish, and what is being done to help them, follow @MantaTrust and @marinemegafauna 🌍

This clip is from our @BBC2 show ‘Andrea Queen of Mantas’ filmed with Guy Stevens & Andrea Marshall.

We've been enjoying what might be the last of the summer sun in the UK this week ☀️

This pod of #Killerwhales filmed for @BBC in New Zealand are catching rays in a different way…😏
Back in 2011, Producer/ Director Mark Woodward and the team spent a whole day filming this incredible behaviour with the amazing Ingrid Visser.

When you've just gotta scratch that itch.

A resident of lowland heath, the Dartford warbler is a ground nesting bird that does not migrate.
The thick, evergreen heather and gorse mean they can find insects and shelter throughout the winter months. ❄️
In the 1960's, harsh winters reduced the breeding population to some 10 pairs. Today we have around 3,200 nesting pairs on our lowland heaths.

You can help protect the Dartford warbler and other ground nesting birds by sticking to the paths and keeping dogs on leads in heathland areas. 🐕

Emmy Award winning cameraman James Aldred spent countless hours in the New Forest in 2020, filming Goshawk for our upcoming 60 minute wildlife special for @Smithsonian_Channel UK and @TerraMater Studios.

From his camera hide, 50 feet up in the conifer canopy, @jamesaldred1 kept a diary of his experience, which he has now turned into a book.
Goshawk Summer: A New Forest Season Unlike Any Other. 📖

Commissioned before the pandemic, we were given special permission for James and @mattr_photo to continue filming through lockdown.
James writes beautifully about his passion for the Goshawk, and the magic of the New Forest, empty of it's usual 15 million annual visitors.
🌲
“If there is an Elysium, or an afterlife, I would like to think it’s the middle of the New Forest during lockdown - It was stunningly beautiful.” - James.
