Time for my two-year chop, and donation to @littleprincesses.bsky.social

I've learnt it costs £700 to make a wig, if anyone would like to donate (directly, I don't have a fundraising page), contributions welcome: www.littleprincesses.org.uk/donate-money

I keep seeing this being recommended! I'm partway through the Red Rising series (again I saw it being recommended a lot), but my local libraries don't have some of the books, so I might pause on RR and try DCC series

Thanks Josh! I've actually been doing it part-time for a few months, but taking the plunge and making it full-time this spring. It was a difficult decision as I do love working at LRWT.

It's today y'all! 🥳

Which means my job at LRWT is now up for grabs, and better yet, it's full-time! You can take what I've been doing there part-time and grow it even further.

Any questions about the role, please e-mail rkeilty@lrwt.org.uk

Deadline is 1 March, so if you're interested, get your application in asap!

Oh hey, it's my job! 😱

Don't worry, Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust isn't not booting me out - I'm transferring to a full-time role at @wildlifebcn.org

Thank you for sharing 😊

Thank you for sharing! Yes, I'm hoping it will be an exciting addition to the wildlife guides world, and inspire lots of wonderful days out 🦋

Thank you 😊

Due out this week!!! 🥳🥳🥳

I've already had comments about areas missing from our book 😆 We were concentrating on green spaces around 20 cities/hubs, so inevitably large areas of the country weren't covered. If it sells well, perhaps an expanded edition in the future? 🤞

Thank you Brian!

If it helps, it isn't bird focused 😆

More general wildlife than birdy

Yes, the date did change to a bit later, a shame it wasn't before Christmas

Thank you for sharing 😊

Oh hey, it's my book! Due out next week!!

I thought that might be the case.

Is iRecord still useful at providing good data for you?

The book cover for Where to Watch Wildlife in Britain by Low-carbon Transport by Megan Shersby, Heather Devey, Rebecca Gibson and Dan Rouse

This is your reminder that my book is coming out soon!!

Great for anyone looking for some low-carbon wildlife watching inspiration, with more than 100 sites covered in/near 20 hubs (mostly cities but not all).

Doesn't everyone have a fungi life list??

A copy of the New Naturalist Bumblebees book by Ted Benton

Right, so I knew about cuckoo #bumblebees and how interesting they are, but today I read that sometimes other bumblebees can be intraspecific parasites??

I am INTRIGUED. Got out my New Nat Bumblebees, but it didn't have much detail before it moved onto cuckoo bumblebees. I need to know more!!
