Mark ‘Lionel’ Vinall had a lot of big adventures together. From my early days on Nat Geo in the late 1990s, through Really Wild Show and onto Deadly 60. A cave diving explorer, Mark was able to switch seamlessly from topside to underwater filming, tireless, brilliant. Mark you will be sadly missed. | Steve Backshall

Family adventures don’t get much better than this! Surfing in the sea, playing games in the tent, bug-hunting with the kids and climbing through the wild made for the perfect mix of fun and fresh air. 🏕️🐞🌊🌿 Volvo Car UK #ex90 #ad | Steve Backshall

What’s your favourite British wildlife encounter? Inquisitive grey seals in the Isles of Scilly does it for me. Having curious playful pups and pops nibbling on your fins, an inter-species dance on their terms… hard to beat! Huge thanks to @seal_snorkelling_adventures | Steve Backshall

Despite the allure of endless herring, the female orca turned and circled, eyeballing me. I could feel her echolocation through my whole body. Whale with Steve Backshall on Sky Nature from Sunday | Steve Backshall

Unbelievable Cornish wildlife weekend; Rissos and common dolphin swimming by our surf skis, a breaching thresher shark and stacks of huge tuna hunting in baitballs, Manx shearwaters in their thousands and two great shearwater… plus one or two seals… | Steve Backshall
