This one may be different...
I shall seek to comment on wildlife issues, mainly in my home counties, but probably some from around the world, based on my 40+ years of experience in the wildlife field - in the broadest context - and commenting, either adversely, or in a complementary way, according to subject and personal mood at the time.
These will be primarily personal views, though some will undoubtedly be impressions gained within my professional field - i.e. that of being an East Anglian consultant wildlife ecologist.
These blog notes will seek to edify, educate, elucidate or correct incorrect impressions in the wonderful world of wildlife. Some will be benign, some controversial - others may challenge bodies or individuals in a general or even a personal way if the circumstances indicate the necessity in the name of wildlife and species conservation!
Why the Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) photo you ask? I have had the great fortune to see this species close-up in captivity, and on Madagascar. It embodies the spirit of what I feel...
Reclusive and rarely seen in public, mainly nocturnal, big appealing eyes and a good sense of smell and hearing, sparsely hirsute, and a long digit for poking into rotten bits of wood to explore and extract grubs/maggots - and eating them up...
Nuff said?
