• Yeo Valley BioAcoustics Jul 12, 2026

    Wheat, field beans, grass

    The week started with a hot visit to Yeo Valley with the WAM PAM team Kate, Santiago and Mark. We were joining Lara and Elliott who were collecting in Audiomoths, and meeting Tom and Patrick who work at Yeo Valley. Was pretty cool to experience first hand how they are turning “nature-positive” farming from a buzzword into a practical, landscape-scale system. Tom was pretty passionate about the work they are doing to change farming supply chains - was pretty infectious. I learned all about rotational grazing, Agroforestry and mixed crops.

WORK

My blog has commentary on work activity with more official content over on the Connected Environments corner of the internet. My work social streams are at the footer of the page and for those who remember del.icio.us I now self serve social bookmarks over on a local install of LinkDing.

For a quick overview of work information view the hello section in the top navigation or jump over to LinkedIn for a longer form.

FUN

Extra curricula making activities are in the projects section, videos are on Vimeo, photos are on Flickr (pseudonomad - my original web alias!), what I’m drinking is in whiskey and if you are curious about what I am listening to (other than BBC R6 / R4) then take a look at Last.fm or a spotify playlist combining lab preferences.
