10 years ago, I started my first paid job in Ecology and have very much enjoyed my time working for various charities to understand and conserve our often overlooked invertebrates and plants. (1/4)

I am open, however, to discuss any future opportunities for contract work delivering research, surveys, monitoring, and training. My website is a work in progress, but it can be found here and details the sort of work I carry out (3/4)  euceraecology.co.uk

Lovely to see the moss Grimmia crinita yesterday in Buckinghamshire. In Britain, this species is only known from 2 sites. Beautiful!

Today was my last day at @savebutterflies after a wonderful two years filled with great moths, amazing habitats and lovely plants. I made over 200 site visits and was lucky enough to work on some of northern England's rarest moths, a real privilege!

The lovely Eagle’s Claw lichen (Anaptychia ciliaris subsp. ciliaris) seen at its only Cumbrian site this afternoon. A Nationally Scarce and S41 species. Also sampled the delicious cake at the nearby cafe!

@BBSbryology I'm yet to purchase the first volume but looks like I should wait until mid December when they bring out an updated one. They do look good!

@BLSlichens S dactylophyllum looks distinctive: slender, tufty, branching pseudopodetia; peg-like phyllocladia becoming coralloid or ‘fingery’; occasional wrinkly, brown-grey cephalodia (containing cyanobacteria: see top right); abundant, small, cap-like apothecia at lateral branch tips. 2/3
