Card-carrying botanist and drinker of good gin. Lecturing in Biological Recording has kept me out of trouble. Mostly. Now retired so anything can happen...

I find a lot of weird & wonderful things whilst searching for Purple Emperor larvae on sallow foliage, and ID and record them; but what on earth is this slime mouldy thing? Forest of Feckenham, Worcs, today. Sensible ideas only (leave the silliness to me)

NGO/recording scheme records don't always reach local environmental records centres but data sharing agreements such as @RSPB and LERC Wales (@cofnod, @BISBrecon1, @wwbic1 and @SEWBReC) have signed, will ensure decisions affecting nature are best informed bit.ly/3TFd9jU
