The remarkable Polyp is at it again - COURAGE: Luddites - Peterloo - Chartists - Suffragettes - now on Kickstarter - I have signed up - many of you might find this rather up your street too! kickstarter.com/projects/tompa…

Flattering to be approached by a scientific journal - asking me to contribute ... however, there is something about this email that makes me question whether they are all they claim to be!!

Thank you Mary Colwell for your kind words. Cull of the Wild was a fascinating book to research and write - so it is great when other readers appreciate it! Bloomsbury Wildlife

Just a week until #HedgehogWeek ! So much we can do to help the nation's favourite nature icon! change.org/p/help-save-br…

The choir is so busy Magdalen College Choir. Today preparing for two services - and rehearsing for May morning. Before that, live on BBC Radio 3 … a pleasure to follow their work.

Three more sleeps (or 2 for many!) until May morning. Magdalen College Choir lead the celebrations from this tower as the sun rises - as they have for over 500 years - Zoe Broughton will be live streaming (not quite as traditional) so if you can’t make 0600 on streets of #oxford - tune in!

Boy’s 18th birthday present included being sniffed by Russell Howard!!
