time vibes at last! 😁

After one of the wettest winters I can remember, our are finally out and about in decent numbers 🐝

Plenty of around for them, although strange to see bluebells flowering at same time as blackthorn 🤔

Totally surreal and utterly fantastic!

Have just received copies of the 2nd Chinese edition of my book (2017). Just amazing!

Maybe I can learn to read Chinese by going through it word by word.

Maybe I will... 😊

One place left on our training course running in Bristol next week (11th to 15th March).

This approved course teaches you to select, rig and climb trees using ultra safe rope techniques. It's also a lot of fun!

DM for more details🌳👍

handprints in a cave here in .

Filming the natural world is great but ocassionally you stumble across something from our own distant past that makes you think very hard about where we've come from and where we might be headed.

Our good friend and supporter Iolo Williams has done us a little video whilst away with BBC Springwatch filming WinterWatch! Maybe we can try and get the fundraiser to £3k and pay for the first day tag by Sunday night?

On with the next stage of our journey to the filming location. Loving the colour coded cases. Reminds me of the fluorescent socks I used to wear as a kid in the early 1980s.

Boarded the plane at Heathrow last night. Woke up to this view 7000 miles later.

Blows my mind that we can now reach the far side of the world in under 15hrs.

We are living in the future.

Made the most of yesterdays dry weather to get our new Barn Owl box up. Received some good advice from Raptor Aid CIO at charity . Chose a nice mature Ash with a sheltered south facing view. Fingers crossed that owls like it and that they get in before the jackdaws 🤣

Finally found ultimate tool for removing baggage tags & cable ties when no penknife around.

Mind you, there are some large cats that would make a tasty snack of her on this next film shoot, so probably best to leave her home. Sorry Pip, next time 😁

Without leaves, you can really study their body language. Each one a unique and beautiful record of its days.

No better (or wetter) way to start the new year than teaching a tree climbing course!

Fantastic first day spent slip-sliding around in the muddy but beautiful winter woods.

Happy New Year to all! 😁 ☔
