Biodiversity recording for NGO’s. NB
The increasing trend amongst NGO’s, highlighted by a colleague recently, to use staff or volunteers to provide images for their publications more often than not ends up compromising them. That may sound sweeping but a glance at any number of … Continue reading

Meet my neighbours. NB
This is the last panel for the meantime in my “Biodiversity begins at home” series for Meet Your Neighbours. These are topside neighbours here in east central Scotland; here are some underwater ones.
Meet Your Neighbours in Austria – and a little how-to. NB
Here is the penultimate panel in the series of 6 “Biodiversity begins at home” panels for Meet Your Neighbours . Following a response to an earlier post, I should point out that I don’t spend hours carefully cutting out the … Continue reading
