@natsabin What level are you going for? I wanted to sign up and try for 4, but scared I’ll get absolutely embarrassed if I get something common wrong 😂

@entomolucy Our company (based in Cardiff) are always on the look out for additional ecologists. We’ve got a lot of bat survey work this year. Feel free to DM me.

[Dan Jones @EcologistDan]

An unexpected find during some ECoW work today. All disturbed and handled under licence.

[Dan Jones @EcologistDan]

Dawn surveys 🥱

[Dan Jones @EcologistDan]

Very lucky that my job allows me to survey these places #NationalMeadowsDay

Barn owl emerging yesterday evening 🦉

[Dan Jones @EcologistDan]

Spot the grass snake 🐍 first one I’ve seen in ages and in the last place I’d expect to come across one (bang in the middle of a woodland)!

[Dan Jones @EcologistDan]

Exploring hay meadows earlier today 🌾

[Dan Jones @EcologistDan]

Excited to try this out! 🦇 must have been one of the lucky ecologists to have my order fulfilled!

[Dan Jones @EcologistDan]

Pretty amazing location tonight for a barn owl survey 😍 #ecology

[Dan Jones @EcologistDan]

The views and colours were incredible. #skomer

[Dan Jones @EcologistDan]

Safe to say Skomer Island didn’t disappoint. One of the best wildlife experiences ever. Puffins, razorbills, guillemots, kittiwakes…amazing 😁 #skomerisland

[Dan Jones @EcologistDan]

Going to Skomer for the first time tomorrow. Weather forecast looks perfect. Beyond excited 😁

[Dan Jones @EcologistDan]

First and worst bat survey of the season done ✅ Freezing cold, no bats, had to arrive an hour early to be inducted and had so many motorway diversions on the way home. 8+ hour round trip for nothing interesting 😭

[Dan Jones @EcologistDan]

@lizardschwartz No, I didn’t know that 😂 will have to try next time.

[Dan Jones @EcologistDan]

Handling my first bat this morning 😬🦇#bats

[Dan Jones @EcologistDan]

@AmiesPhilip Yeah this was found on a verge not far away from a small wooded area.

[Dan Jones @EcologistDan]

Early season grass identification. (l-r) False oat-grass, rough meadow grass(🤔), sweet vernal grass and meadow foxtail. Torn between smooth meadow grass here, as lower leaves not particularly rough and stem leaf is short, but ligule is too long. #wildflowerID
