Haven't activated a Parks On The Air site for far too long. And since the last time bugs have become part of the kit to pack.
Took a while to re-adjust it but my CW was good enough to complete the activation.

Well that is disturbing. The results of this year's #BugsMatter survey are in, and show a continued decline in flying insect populations in the UK.

Down by 59% since 2021. Now I'm no insect ecologist, but that sounds like a scarily large decline to me.

Today (well, yesterday, but I was busy) is the ten year anniversary of a brand new consultant turning up on the doorstep of the NHS Fife Microbiology lab and timidly asking to join the War On Bugs.

It's been an interesting decade to be a doctor specialising in infections, I have to admit. Maybe too interesting.

And how was this milestone marked?

My swipe card stopped working on the wards. Apparently it does that automatically after ten years. Trying not to take it personally.
