With Belinda, Marion and Andy at Latitude

Out yesterday with the #Tanyptera team yesterday, installing vane traps on a site in N Lancs. Excited to see what saproxylic insects we find over the year.

Great to see the new building at Lunt Meadows yesterday. Thanks Lancashire Wildlife Trust and your team and volunteers. Brilliant job.

Attended my first BRC recording scheme conference in York today. Great to be part of monitoring change in our wildlife, even if a lot is quite negative at present. But not all...

We held the 1st Lancashire Wildlife Recorders Conference at Blackburn College today. 70 enthusiastic people, huge success. Lots of great presentations.

First post on Bluesky. Looking forward to immersing myself in new communities! Never happier than soaking up the natural world...
