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

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
