Rescue pip pup, won’t take milk from a pipette, but will lap from a bare palm. Odd sensation having a bat lick your hand... @AnneatSaveMe

- Being a twin is like being born with a soulmate. A best friend always on hand to play, fight, argue and make up stories with. And Helen should know, being a twin herself. All I know is that life is about to get double the crazy. And we couldn’t be happier. @Helenglovergb
- Mum in a billion. For the bear cubs to see mummy waving from the Olympic podium is a moment we’ll never forget. We could not be more proud of you Hels. #stronglikemummy #gomummygo
- Home schooling tricky? Can I help? Weds 25th from one (1300) I’ll be live on Twitter, FB, insta &do my best with your youngster’s wildlife, biology, conservation, geography etc questions. Just don’t ask me any physics. Or chemistry. Or... well anything else. Huge love you all Sb
- Our first walk as a new family, the teeny tiny still nameless twins strapped to my chest. Promise I’ll be back to posting about wildlife and expeditions pretty soon, but these moments just being a dad are just the best. @helenglovergb
- Took the trio to see @Helenglovergb gold postbox, and explain this crazy journey. Logan ran down the street to cuddle the postbox and tell it how proud he is of mummy. she’s in the semis scheduled for Weds about 4.20am UK time. Huge thanks to Penzance knitting nannas!
- I’m blaming sleep deprivation for our indecisiveness... but we’ve gone for Kit and Willow. Good natural history themed names... not that I’m trying to influence their future life choices... @Helenglovergb
- ‘Trying and failing is not a problem’, life lessons from two true champions. They may not have the medal they wanted, but H got herself from twins/not rowing since Rio, to PB in 6 months. On her own. Even I don’t know how she did it. @helenglovergb @pollyswanngb @teamgb
00:00 - Learning Welsh on a journey with the legend Iolo Williams. A few of my new favourite words; sponken (the sport of squash) spigogglis (spinach) chweurligugan (whirlwind) and of course sglodion (chips!) what a beautiful brilliant language it is. @S4C #iaithardaith
00:00 - Replying to @rainingcoyotes and @cbbcI think me and @dickndom need to lead an all out assault on CBBC centre; the bare-faced affrontery of it! 🤣
00:00- I’m not a natural scientist. At school I struggled with maths, and still now find statistics and chemistry fiendishly hard. It is then my proudest achievement to gain my MSc in Bioscience. @CanterburyCCUni thanks to my dear friends @VenomTech @DrCarolTrim
