@phil_wiffen @killnicole Omg thank you Phil! I'm absolutely floored and so grateful to you for saying this. But just know that all design is about communication and when you're working with genuine, passionate and open people, then communication becomes so easy that design is almost no work :)

@rachel_lennard @Laziobirder @DeepHughSea @OuseFenBirder 2022 challenge: double the amount and document using the 3rd movement as accompaniment 😅

@rachel_lennard @WimpoleEstateNT @simon_gillings @CambsBirdClub But I've also caught them in flight right near where I am at ouse fen. It's just pot luck unfortunately

[Andrew Sheerin @sheerinability]

@rachel_lennard @WimpoleEstateNT @simon_gillings @CambsBirdClub Just north of the pumping station near the reserve entrance where the Harris fencing is. Flew right over, northwards

[Andrew Sheerin @sheerinability]

@rachel_lennard @SimonFreedman4 @CambsBirdClub There's a breeding pair at wimpole Hall on the lake there. Good luck!

Interviewer: Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

Me: Well since birth is really just the start of an inescapable and absurd journey towards death, over which we kid ourselves we have any control, does it really matter?

[Andrew Sheerin @sheerinability]

Interviewer: What is your greatest weakness?

Me: Probably the inability to participate in the performative charade that is the interview process without being able to hide my disdain.

Oh and I'm a perfectionist.

@rachel_lennard Loved the timing of the cuckoo and the record scratch. You've had quite a year!

[Andrew Sheerin @sheerinability]

@inthecompanyof Dude, I can't imagine. I would be in a state of total distraction. Don't give up hope though, dogs are smart and resilient. I have everything crossed for you. Big love x

[Andrew Sheerin @sheerinability]

@ChrisGPackham My local patch has been home to multiple glossy ibis, great white egret and cattle egret for some time now. It's a remarkable demonstration of changing behaviors, migration and of course climate. You and the winter watch gang should drop by!

@LondonBirdClub had to let you know of lesser (yes, I promise) spotted woodpecker in the park opposite Theobalds Road bus stop, Holborn, viewed yesterday c. 11.30am while waiting for a bus. Had a brief scrap with a parakeet even. #londonbirds

Hello world! I signed up to run the cambridge half marathon for @cpslmind back in June when jogging 2km was an ordeal. I know there are many demands on our lives right now but if you're able and willing then your support will go to an excellent cause. https://t.co/IhFXOmnJYu

@trevormbenjamin I'm still recovering to be honest. It's so rare for a board game to provide such a rush... And one comprised of nothing more than a bunch of cards with numbers on. I'm so jealous and I'm awe of it

[Andrew Sheerin @sheerinability]

@chng4good @iangertler @JamesBulpin @alysiabeve @ellewoot @phil_wiffen ... work security is hard to come by it's no surprise that mental health and human needs start to bubble to the surface in a fashion that is hard to ignore. I see this as the tip of a very important iceberg.

[Andrew Sheerin @sheerinability]

@chng4good @iangertler @JamesBulpin @alysiabeve @ellewoot @phil_wiffen That's an excellent point Amy. This current rebalancing of employee needs around flexibility is a symptom of a wider imbalance. In a world where CEOs *average* 350x their employees, most families need two earners, many people work multiple jobs and...
