The weird things you find in lofts during bat surveys, an x-wing surrounded by discarded ‘mucky’ magazines. #bat #batsurvey #strange #surveys #ecology

A nice bit of homework surveying our fields for badgers, helped out by some of our mud! #Badgers #ecology #freelance #Homework #fieldsigns

Looking forward to going from a sole trader to a Ltd company in the near future. #goingltd #ltd #progression #progress #watchthisspace

A good weekend visiting some awesome sites with Clwyd Bat Group. Lots of LHS plus a good scattering of myotis and plecotus species. #batgroup #hibernation #bats #bat #lhs #wales #NorthWales #clwydbatgroup #clwyd #hibernationsurvey

I think it’s time to stop work, switch everything off and call it Christmas time. Merry Christmas everyone ��

Shameless self promotion. If I don’t do it no one else will 🤷🏼‍♂️. Need ecological assistance, get in touch. #selfpromotion #ecology #freelance #ecologist #Advertising #ifidontdoitnoonewill

Mushrooms, the fruiting body of an important underground network of mycelia. At this time of year mushrooms can be a fantastic indicator of habitat. #fungi #mushrooms #mycelium #mycelia #ecology #freelance #habitat

It will be good to see people at the National Bat Conference this weekend rather than a screen full of faces and names. #NatBatConf #bat #ecology #freelance #bats

@BCT_NBMP @_BCT_ I would love to do a count but it’s not my roost, it was a commercial survey. I will make sure I submit my records once complete though 🦇
