Ecology Matters Director Mick Green was last week elected as a Fellow of the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management in recognition of “an outstanding contribution to the practice of Ecology and Environmental Management”. Mick was rumoured to have worn a tie at the presentation at the Institute of Directors in London, but no pictures exist!

Our female honey buzzard is still being located regularly around her breeding site. We are waiting for information as to whether she has laid eggs. There are still no signals from the male bird and he has not been seen back at his nest site so we must unfortunately presume he is lost.

Further updates will be posted but will be rather spasmodic as we’re out in the field a lot at the moment.
