A bit of 'shroom' hunting between bouts of eye surgery and found some real beauties! Perfect weather for it.

Kids sat chatting at breakfast about GMOs. Little one says "Yeah because if you put the gene from a shark and put it into a rabbit, then the rabbit will eat a lot of fish!". 😀

Had a sad day with the bees today. After looking for good sites to study chronic bee paralysis for 4 years, it raised its ugly head in my apiary 😭. Such a sorry sight.

Well done @HazelCooley95 fab POST note on invasive species with contributions from several @ModEviPol folk!
26 May 2022
Invasive species were estimated to cost the UK more than £1.8 billion per year in 2010. The UK’s 2019 report to @UNBiodiversity found that, despite some action, their impact and associated risks in the UK remain significant. Read our latest POSTnote: ow.ly/UU2750JiPKa
