Welcome to eco-life-planet. At the moment, specimens we lent out for exhibitions elsewhere are coming back to us one after another, so I am rather busy with accessioning — checking condition, updating labels, and making sure each one finds its proper place again. Piano piano, but steadily.

Registrar Snowy: New English articles are being prepared, and the returned specimens are being logged as they arrive. Once the records catch up with the shelves, do visit again soon — à bientôt.
As the last of the summer light softens into early autumn, we hope you are finding your own quiet moments outdoors — a beetle on a warm stone, a change in the evening chorus, the first hint of colour at the edge of a leaf. Whatever draws your eye, we are glad to share the season with fellow observers, near or far.
