Besides the sublime Little Gulls (my memory cards corrupted 🤢, so I’ll have to make do with these shots grabbed from the camera via my phone in the field earlier), a yomp around Waxham also produced a Tundra Bean Goose, Purple Sandpiper, and a small number of Kittiwakes moving south.

Had the pleasure of showing the highly talented bird artist Alan Harris and a lovely Scottish couple some Tundra Beans at Waxham this lunchtime.
Eventually 5 but numbers clearly down from their peak of low 30s.

#teamtomo gets another quantitative cell biology tool!
We extend our Surface Morphometrics pipeline to measure membrane thickness.
Alongside many biological findings, we show that our 3D measurements closely match in vitro vesicle measurements from 2D EM (collab w/Neal Waxham and Fred Heberle).

Medina, Chang et al. of the @nanigrotjahn.bsky.social lab introduce a new method based on the Surface Morphometrics pipeline to measure global and local thicknesses of organellar #membranes from cellular cryo-electron tomography data. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

I started reading The Meaning of Geese by @themarshtit.bsky.social to my 9 year old who has never been into birds (into medieval Norfolk churches). Today he insisted on a wild goose chase: thousands of pinkfeet, + greylags, Egyptian geese & 5 tundra bean geese nr Waxham. Child now drawing pinkfeet

Gorgeously bright, clear and crisp. I miss days like these. Got to enjoy them when they happen.
Swans still, but the Pinks and Tundra Beans etc have moved since late last night with only a few around the Waxham area this morning

Of note, for the peer reviewed edition we added a super cool collaboration with Neal Waxham and Fred Heberle, who have been doing thickness measurements in vitro for years with extruded vesicles. We showed that using the same sample, our measurement matches theirs within 2%!!

Yesterday I took my annual trip to see the seals 🦭 I parked at Waxham & walked the 5 miles to Horsey Gap & back. A whopping 3659 pups have been born this season! I'm lucky to have this natural event close by. All taken with a long lens and from a very respectful distance. 🧵1/2 #Seals #NorthNorfolk

You’re very close to - this was between Horsey Gap and Waxham (Winterton is only about 5 miles
South of where I took that) 😊

My dear old friend PLG has died.
I've known him for 20 years, we all met on the Glastonbury Festival message boards and have been firm friends since then.
A gentle and funny soul, he always had struggles with health but I still expected to catch up with some day soon.
RIP my friend x

I didn’t check there but Waxham beaches down to Horsey are covered with new born pups.

Great to see a crisp adult hen harrier arriving over the see at Waxham yesterday. 2 snow bunting flew along the dunes and a few seal pups were on the beach too

Murky mist first thing dropped lots of migrating birds to the ground at Waxham this morning. At least 2, probably 3 siberian chiffchaffs and a black redstart made the bird news reports, but the real highlight was the phenomenal numbers of thrushes - many thousands.
