Ecstatic that my next #research #paper (a big review) is #ACCEPTED for #publication! The content's been part of my life for 14+ years, & the culmination of huge efforts by many inspirational ecologists & #restoration practitioners for much longer. I can't wait to share it! 🤩🥳🤗

I recently attended a fantastic workshop run by @NERC_EOF in Sheffield. The workshop was Metabarcoding for diet analysis and environmental DNA. This comprised of four days combining lab work and bioinformatics. Great materials and instructors.

Observing a few moths. Documented almost 600 species over 4 nights, excluding other invertebrates that I spent time with.

Meshed jacket was to prevent the moths from getting into my eyes, nose and ears.

I recently visited @ForestryEngland Dodd Wood and Whinlatter Forest in the Lake District as part of a Continuous Cover Forestry Group field trip hosted by @garethbrowning. The key objectives for these forests were to ensure wind stable forests for the future.
