It is now only 2 weeks until I step down from the position of BRC Freshwater Fish Recording Scheme Organiser after a decade in this very enjoyable and rewarding position. It’s predictable, but I’ll sign off with so long and thanks for all the fish.

Many thanks to Ian for supporting freshwater fish recording and monitoring over many years

The #NBNawards24 include new categories for 'Lifetime Achievement' & 'NBN Verifier's Award'. To nominate someone for and of the 7 categories please see nbn.org.uk/news-events-pu… - deadline for NBN to receive nominations is 3 April 2024.

So it’s the time of year for finding, recording and enjoying rare breeding birds, but we must remember to put their welfare first! Here’s some advice from RBBP Secretary Mark Eaton, and there’s a blog here tinyurl.com/RBBPsafe [1/2]
