Hello Mastodon.
I'm a #zoologist living in Berkshire with my wife and two young boys.
Into being outside as much as possible, peering at weird wildlife. Things like #swifts #toads #nightjars #bats #hedgehogs #hornets #moths #mustelids plus #comedy #art #music #rugby #tennis #golf #photography #mortimerandwhitehouse.
Am a #rejoiner if such a thing exists?
