Now a Registered Member of British Naturalist' Association

Recently I applied for Associate membership to British Naturalists' Association.

I was over the moon to receive a phone call from none other than BNA president, Roger Tabor himself with the news that I'd been graded at the higher level of Registered Member instead.

Quoting from the BNA website, this means: "MBNA those naturalists that have established an expertise in the practice and understanding of natural history, and have become skilled and experienced in identification and other field skills, may gain recognition. Becoming a Registered Member carries with it the status of being a proven field naturalist; it is an acknowledgement of gaining a high standard of competence in natural history."

Thanks to all involved in the grading process. To find out more about the BNA, head over to their website.
