Before lichens he ran a range of websites under the biology.ie banner: revision material for school exams; Web 2.0 mapping to collect phrenology, roadkill etc. He was a pioneer in using the Internet for citizen science.
I found him a kind, thoughtful, interesting companion on the field. I learnt much from him. His excitement when we saw a lizard in a wall in Glen Tilt, didn't stop him from carefully getting a good photo.
The original posts are long gone with my #exbirdsite account but about 15 years ago I had a wonderful interaction with Mr Kudelka that I CHEERFULLY declared him the winner of.
A rough but lovely sketch by the man himself is in the link, and I dare say most will not have seen it.
Enjoy, and appreciate his wit anew!

World AIDS Day
The theme for the 2025 observance is "Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response," focusing on resilience in the face of challenges and the importance of sustained political leadership and community efforts to end AIDS by 2030. The day's purpose is to raise awareness, end stigma, remember those lost to HIV/AIDS, and support those currently living with the virus.

Felix has been physically gone for 33 years now, an amount of time that is almost impossible for me to believe. He’s been gone longer than he lived. And through all of those years, there is rarely a day that I do not think about him.

Gregory (RIP) and I just celebrated our 49th year of loving each other! He passed nine years ago after living with dementia, most likely Alzheimer's disease.
