Card-carrying botanist and drinker of good gin. Lecturing in Biological Recording has kept me out of trouble. Mostly. Now retired so anything can happen...

@Theponker Please come over - an ancient Luddite like me has just managed it, and it’s bloody lovely - I reckon you’ll make those contacts back pretty swiftly

@SueTownsend3 I thought you might! It’s worth a look in the other place - most of our old mates are there

NGO/recording scheme records don't always reach local environmental records centres but data sharing agreements such as @RSPB and LERC Wales (@cofnod, @BISBrecon1, @wwbic1 and @SEWBReC) have signed, will ensure decisions affecting nature are best informed https://t.co/GIabiNPG3c
