Common skate, by Kitty Hillier

The name Common Skate is misleading, because they are critically endangered. They are one of Britain's largest fish species, and the largest skate species in the world.

Considering their soft appearance, they have a surprisingly powerful jaw, allowing them to eat crustaceans.

Have you ever spotted 'mermaid's purses' along the shore? These are skates egg cases.

You can help by ensuring you eat sustainably — if you choose ray wings from a menu, it may be that you are actually being served critically endangered skate, so be conscious with your cuisine.

Support the Wildlife Trusts and their Living Seas projects.

The more areas of protected sea we make, the more the oceans can thrive once again.

Early sunlight.. shadows, boat bellies and support

Early sunlight.. shadows, boat bellies and supporting structures, flat calm and totally quiet except for the odd wading bird making ripples, squeaks and pips — wanted to film but phone battery went flat so I just sat for a second and absorbed it, with every atom🧘🏼‍♀️🧬✨

Right now my life and art practice feel totally in

Right now my life and art practice feel totally intertwined in a way like never before… a friend visited and said maybe I should document how it looks, so here are some phone pics of the mess.. the odd combinations of things collected, made and stored that surround me here…
