Pond Habitat Action Plan Coordinator

The ways of online job-alerting services are strange and unfathomable, but, though I suppose I must have given them some encouragement, I really cannot understand why the Guardian should think I am interested in a post as Pond Habitat Action Plan Coordinator. It is true that, as a very small child, I fell into our garden pond to join the newts and sticklebacks, but I keep quiet about that in my cv, and the only witness was my mother, now dead.

Damaris the dolphin at Seaford

There's a dolphin off Seaford beach. I took some photographs but failed to catch the beast herself, Damaris, as I call her; spectators seemed to be convinced she is female. She came into shore in pursuit of a shoal of mackerel.

Update: BBC News have some coverage and a photo of a fin.
