Now, normally I’m not the sort of person to talk about the weather but what a month!! We’re certainly not the only ones that have had their fieldwork timetable squeezed somewhat! Apart from challenging conditions for fieldwork we’ve had a very busy month with meeting new clients, tendering for exciting new projects and looking for [...]

Tim’s Blog – May
Thursday, May 17th, 2012Tim’s Blog – March 2012
Friday, April 13th, 2012Well it’s definitely spring!! Daffodils and magnolia in bloom, and swallows and chiffchaffs returning! It’s also quite a while since I last wrote one of these blogs. No excuses, but it’s been a very busy couple of months for us here. A combination of business as usual, loads of contact meetings, writing tenders and involvement [...]
Tim’s Blog – November 2011
Tuesday, November 29th, 2011The Big News! So the big news this month is that on the1st of November we very happily announced that Dr Stephanie Wray joined the Biocensus board as our Non-Executive Chairman! To say I was chuffed about this is a massive understatement. Probably the two prevailing emotions were pride and excitement. Pride in the fact that we’ve grown Biocensus [...]
Tim’s blog – October 2011
Tuesday, October 18th, 2011A nip in the air, redwings and fieldfares dropping in and dark mornings (even for non-birders) can only mean one thing; autumn. Traditionally this coincides with the slowing down of work for the ecologist. Fortunately (unfortunately?) that’s not the case here. Windfarm work does have the bonus of providing substantial amounts of work right through [...]
Tim’s blog – September 2011
Tuesday, September 13th, 2011September!? How did that happen? In my mind summer never really got going and then seemed to fizzle out, or should that be drizzled out. Despite the weather, we’ve just had our best ever summer for business with loads of work across the country from Scotland to Cornwall. What else have we been up to? All Party [...]

Tim’s Blog – June 2011
Monday, June 6th, 2011Blimey it’s the beginning of June already. What happened? The ‘Silly Season’ is well and truly underway here. Birds, Great Crested Newts and Bats are not happy bed fellows. Bed….oh yeah I remember that! Despite being so busy, we’re still doing work at all scales; domestic, commercial, etc… and we’ve also got some nice chunky [...]
Tim’s blog April 2011
Thursday, April 14th, 2011I can’t believe it’s been almost two months since my last blog entry (Must try harder…). As you can imagine, a lot has been happening. The summer migration is well and truly underway! On the 10th of April I recorded pied flycatcher, redstart and cuckoo all at Wessex water’s site, Clatworthy reservoir. This is in [...]
Winter hibernation? Not us!
Tuesday, October 26th, 2010Late October, first frosts of the year. Surely this is the time of year that hard working ecologists are thinking about hanging up their wellies and hunkering down for the winter? Well not for us! We’ve had another busy and varied month which personally, I like. I’ve never been much of a “hunkering down” type! [...]
Welcome to the Biocensus Club!

In a nutshell, here’s an update to what’s been going on this summer at Biocensus: RIBA seminars We were asked by the Wessex region of the RIBA (Royal Institute of British [...]
