Great weekend in Jersey - big otters, big castles, big tunnels and big puffins (amongst other things)…

Pleasure hosting Prof Carl Jones from #Durrell today for a seminar at @cardiffuni.bsky.social. Inspiring to hear first hand accounts of how he saved several nearly extinct species on #Mauritius. @molecol-cardiffuni.bsky.social
I just found the perfect bath book, it is barely wider than my flattened hand when closed, hardcover of course...
Even has a bound-in cloth bookmark & an embossed cover that is wonderful for 'doodling' on with the free hand as I read...

Watch the elegance! The flock of Chilean Flamingos at @DurrellWildlife (Jersey Zoo) are giving us major colour and choreography inspiration today.

C'est en bateau, en 1939, à la veille de la guerre que l'écrivain américain Henry Miller s'embarque pour la Grèce rejoindre son ami Lawrence #Durrell qui vit à Corfou. Il y restera le temps d'écrire son célèbre "Colosse de Maroussi".
Une autre époque...
"Die Durrells auf Korfu" - Vier Staffeln der britischen Feel-Good-Serie um exzentrische Familie in Arte Mediathek
"Dies ist ein sehr böses, sehr witziges und, wie ich befürchte, auch ziemlich wahres Buch", sagte Gerald #Durrell über seinen autobiographischen Roman
"Meine Familie und andere Tiere".
The Durrell is this one. But we have his “Corfu Trilogy”.

A photo of Lawrence Durrell's Constance.
I'm currently reading the third book of the Avignon Quintet, Constance, by the fantastic Lawrence Durrell.

Celebrating the 100th anniversary of #GeraldDurrell birth.
I got into working in conservation & zoos after meeting him.
My favourite book is Amateur Naturalist as its encouraging people to explore & discover nature.

2020 Faber paperback edition of Lawrence Durrell’s ‘Justine’ - cover design ‘after an original by Berthold Wolpe’
Pleased to find this, super-new, in the always lush Turnham Green Oxfam today. 15 years ago I gave up on a Penguin of it, the type too small for the too intense writing; or maybe I just wasn’t ready for it. Might read it next, might save it for the Summer. Anyway, really good to have it #Durrell 📚💙
