2025 is a wrap!
It's not been the easiest of years but I'm leaving on the positives!
I survived a 40ft fall down a Gorge on a farm, battered and bruised, and walked away with 'just' a broken ankle.
At least 2 new species added to UK species list, and several new to Wales. 26 sites surveyed.

Brilliant piece debunking the nonsense claim in the Daily Telegraph. But it’s dangerous nonsense, polarising attitudes & whipping up prejudice.

Fake cobwebs like these may look spooky – but what's really scary about them is that they can trap & injure wildlife, including birds, insects & small mammals. And fake webs aren't recyclable – so will end up in landfill for many years.
