Really looking forward to taking 16 lucky @SalfordScience Biology & Wildlife students to @SkokholmIsland in June!

What an amazing 1st week as a #NewLecturer in #Zoology @SalfordUni. We experienced the full range of North West weather at our UG #FieldWork course, and we’re still smiling! @cbenvenuto73 @GeoffHide @CathHide @BroadhurstHolly @lobsterlucy @GundryPhoto @JMJackman27 @Vitaustin 🍃☀️

@NamvarS @SalfordUni @salfordbiosoc It was a pleasure!

I was so pleased to meet Daphne today at the @SalfordUni @salfordbiosoc SEE Bioart event - Thank you @GundryPhoto !🦗

@NamvarS @SalfordUni @salfordbiosoc You’ll be pleased to know that Hazel is alive and well :-).

We found about 1000 fin whales over a 5x5 mile area off South Orkney. Blue and humpback also mixed in. Mind completely blown 🐳 @LindbladExp #NationalGeographicEndurance

@ZoologyDave I’m reminded, tangentially, of when Chris Clemente got a review request re. one of his own papers. He thought this was unfair as he knew all its flaws.

@RaymondBesant I don’t use Twitter often so apologies for diving in. Personally I think that “tradition” without any other justification is no excuse at all.

@JackParryJones2 Amazing creatures! I really think that any pond with abundant damselflies and dragonflies is a real highlight of UK wildlife. One of them happily sat on my hand in Belstone in 2003.

@SkokholmIsland Good stuff! We “might” be joining you in June. I really hope so.

We're back! A surprisingly lively landing given the lack of wind, but everything safe ashore ready for our ninth year on Dream Island 🐦

@trevorwhiffen Dear Trevor. If you’re the Trevor Whiffin who went to the Amazon in 1968 with David Gundry... I’m currently scanning David’s slides and came across one of you. Would you like the digital image? Cheers. Jamie Gundry

Great to hang out with buddies Mark Francis and Estella Warren in LA this past weekend. Thanks for the hospitality.

@JackParryJones2 Well said, my dear friend.

I work in Manchester. My office job pays me £22,000 a year and can be done from home. The government want me to now spend £250 a month on trains and give up 40 hours a month in travel to buy a £6 sandwich from Pret everyday with whatever’s left of my disposal income. Hmm.

Me too, Nick, me too! Was meant to have a week on Skokholm next month but it’s looking really unlikely.

@earlseye Fantastic, thank you! Wonder when Burton Mere will open again...

@GundryPhoto Just a roving strategy with light portable gear, trying to stay on the move. The river has better light in the evening but more people about. Early mornings are better for Warblers & isolation.

A switch to an evening walk at Chester Meadows with a pair of Mandarin & 3 Common Sandpiper the highlights.

@NHM_London Very many thanks!

@GundryPhoto Hi Jamie, you are welcome to use this image for your lecture. I see the credit line is already on the image, so please just keep that. Best wishes, James

Flies (Diptera) are very diverse. The stalk-eyed fly Achias rothschildi is particularly striking. Each eye is further from its body than its body is long. It uses this arrangement in mating displays - the fly equivalent of deer antlers. #TaxonomyTuesday nhm.ac.uk/discover/compe…

Some of you may recognise the front cover of the book on the left!

@earlseye Fair enough! Also, let me know if you’d be interested in a Skokholm trip in June :-).

@GundryPhoto @GundryPhoto Yes I saw the BOs & SEO from other hide. GWE from reedbed screen compensated though

@earlseye Great to meet you today. Some good barn owl action after you left, but you probably don’t want to know that!
