Yes it was good. FYI - Buglife has B-lines (pollinator habitat creation) heading your way. Project co-ordinator is my colleague Paul Evans. It is at the early stages. I'm hoping I can get involved at some point - we all need to support the work (with only 3% of South Downs actually being decent grassland). PS It was good to help with the Ovingdean planning objection work in 2014 - I hope Buglife's input made a little difference. Need to defend all those fragments of chalk grassland and fight as hard and rough as the developers and their reps!

They had a chap from Nottingham on for some time. He was a slug recorder and gave a good account of how important recording was. Patrick Roper
