This is such a sad week for Staffordshire conservation. Roger was an enormous figure and knew the county like no other. He will be missed not only for his vaste knowledge but his charm and witt. I’ll miss him greatly. @SISF_2020 @StaffsInverts

We quickly need two more people to make my @BlencathraFSC bee ID course viable. Anybody want a bespoke training course by author of the 2015 field guide to bees of Britain and Ireland? Fantastic location. Details here: field-studies-council.org/in…
