Beautiful warm evening for a bat walk at the Nature Discovery Centre, Thatcham, with @berksbatgroup.bsky.social. Lots of soprano pipistrelles, common pipistrelles, noctules and Daubenton's over and around the lake.

Lovely morning for a #parkrun at Newbiggin by the sea. A few slopes to negotiate but a friendly parkrun and we found an EV charger for the car while we ran. 2nd in my age category

We’re 100 today.
On 17 March 1926, the University of Reading was granted its Royal Charter.
Now, we wake up 100 years later as a global university, shaped by generations of students, staff, alumni and partners who have built something extraordinary together.
Happy 100th anniversary to us. #UoR100

Beautiful day at RSPB Arne. Really felt like spring. Excited to find a lizard very close to an active ants nest @rspb.bsky.social

@thebotanist.bsky.social have I found some emerging bee orchids? They are an area where I've seen them before. They are in danger of mowing so an ID from an expert may help me convince owners to protect them

#OpenData research data loss funnel #SeanHill #OAI14 - for every 100 datasets generated, only 1 is shared + FAIR + Cited. Only 1% of research data reaches this gold standard. The investment in generating the data is lost. Delays opportunities/potential/discovery. Why is it lost?
