Seal rescue on Saturday afternoon. This under nourished and poorly pup was found on the rocks in the harbour at Boscastle by a group of young visitors, who reported it to us in the National Trust centre. We took a look and quickly decided to get the local seal rescuers out. The tide was on the way in and almost took him but thankfully Michelle from the British Marine Divers volunteer network had her skates on and grabbed him in time. Many thanks to our amazing members of public, who were looking after his safety until help arrived. We initially named him Fergal / Fergus, but he has now been given the new name of 'Boscastle' the seal. He's in safe hands at the RSACA wildlife hospital centre at West Hatch in Somerset, for some rehab and tlc. Thanks to Maddie for the amazing artwork of the rescue, which is now on proud display behind the counter of the NT cafe in Boscastle!

Dragons eggs on Pentire Head? Nope, just @northcornwallranger prepping the volunteer lunch to keep them fully powered for our recent scrub clearance day. We've been cutting back gorse and blackthorn to make way for our herd of conservation grazers to get down the cliffs and improve the biodiversity of our rare coastal grassland. Volunteer power! - #regrann

Don't just look down. Look up too!

Credit to @zeathranger - After what seems an endlessly wet autumn and early winter so far it was a joy to witness a humdinger of a winter sunset at the end of the day on the first Monday of the month.😃 #sunsets #wintersunset #pentirehead #northcornwall #nationaltrustnorthcornwall #pentire #polzeath - #regrann

Be careful where you step...

Credit to from @rangerchrisnorthcornwall - In the amazing Dizzard wood perched above the cliffs on Cornwall’s north coast. It’s a great example of our remaining Atlantic rainforests, full of lichens, liverworts, fungi and mosses. We’ve been acting like a storm creating a few open coupes in the dense canopy. This will increase light levels, allowing us over time to see how the lower plant species respond, such as the tree lungwort - lobaria pulmonaria (lichen at the bottom of the photo). A Latin name that just rolls off the tongue! #woodland #atlanticrainforest #woods #oak #trees #conservation #deadwood #noburn #lichen #fungi #liverwort #mosses #coastline #southwestcoastpath #northcornwall #kernow #nationaltrust - #regrann
