Another decent #vismig over Breaston this morning 7-930 although not as busy as recent few days. Almost no Wood pigeon movement today but plenty of Fieldfare and Redwing west, 11x Golden Plover NE, 5x Pink-footed Goose E, and a few Siskin south #derbyshirebirds

Just made good use of our wild area British Geological Survey to have my lunch and take in the autumnal colours. A few birds but probably would have been better if I'd topped the feeders up BEFORE I had mine.... Notts Birdwatchers RSPB

A new tool providing free user access to 3D geological models has been added to GeoIndex. Below you'll find feedback highlighting the tool's ability to inform the development of conceptual ground models & early-stage planning. Read about GeoIndex here: ow.ly/fj7r50GZPNw

We’re trapped in a truly rotten system. Not only is capitalism driving pretty much all life on Earth to extinction, but it’s keeping most people so busy and distracted that they’re not even really aware it’s happening.

This is an amazing find! British Geological Survey folk, have you seen this?

Didn't think I was gonna see the Derbyshire Ornithological Society (DOS) Snow Bunting this afternoon on Totley but I took one last look round the chimney and... #derbyshirebirds BirdGuides #rbnDBY

Late morning visit to Swarkestone to tick my 3rd Tundra Bean Goose for Derbys, in exactly the same location as my first in 1995! Hard to resist when accompanied by 2 White-fronted Goose too. Great finds in this amazing corridor for migrants! Derbyshire Ornithological Society (DOS) BirdGuides #tbnDBY

First Derbyshire Ornithological Society (DOS) Swallows of the year at High Bridge, & at Barrow GP later. Also 5 Sand Martins, and conversely 6 Redwing and 9 Fieldfare, with a big flock of 65+ Linnet at Ingleby. Green Sand, LRP, Redshank. Mandarin was a site tick at both sites for me #derbyshirebirds

More wildlife improvements British Geological Survey this lunchtime with the opening of our Grand Bug Hotel as well as installing new signage (thanks for your help Stu!) to tell our visitors why we're not mowing the grass any more! Come on in Bees!!

If any of my network have thoughts on geospatial data sharing, particularly boreholes then the #DigToShare team would like to hear your thoughts. The short survey takes about 7 mins British Geological Survey The Geological Society

2 Quail singing from public footpath north of B5010, opposite Hopwell Lane this morning Derbyshire Ornithological Society (DOS)

Did you know that when a borehole is drilled the information gained is often only used once? That is changing with the addition of a new requirement to the #Construction Playbook that will enable greater access and reuse.

Pair of Red-crested Pochard at Long Eaton GP this morning takes my Derbyshire yearlist to 86 Derbyshire Ornithological Society (DOS) cheers to Clive Prescott for finding them yesterday!

Tony's really bringing Derbyshire Mothing into the 21st century at last. Any of my network that isn't connected to Tony please do so to ensure that records are collected, updated, and reported on.

A brilliant British Geological Survey Birding Group trip out Rutland Water Nature Reserve yesterday where we saw 56 species including the antics of 3 juv Ospreys and their parents, Marsh Harrier and had a great intro by the team at Lyndon Reserve. Many thanks to you all.
