First proper coastal Fleurieu recording stint in a long time. Absolutely beautiful weather today. Rapid Bay, Second Valley and the reef at Lady Bay. Traces of the climate-fuelled algal bloom are evident in places, but there’s more-than-human life present, demonstrating nature’s dogged resilience.

My spirit animal? One day it could be a field mouse, the next day, a pine marten. Then I find a recent photo of a bird perched on a fencepost. Look at the pose it strikes, head cocked and simultaneous looking inquisitive and completely stupid. Bingo! Sums up the way I’ve handled this year I guess.

Throwback about a month ago to possibly the most middle class + middle aged photo of me ever.

Continuing transcription of the travel journal in Obsidian. Up to Day 3.5/31. I’m not doing this everyday; pretty much every Friday if I’ve got the energy/patience in the morning to re-read my scribbles and consider whether grammatical first aid should be administered or further detail is necessary.

One important thing that my trip OS did was it positively renewed my interest in ecology and assessing soundscapes. Despite being horrified by the SA algal bloom and reluctant to go near the ocean, I’ve just got to get on with it. These pics are from Lady Bay reef in 2021. Visiting again in 2 weeks.

As end of year is reached on the power of an oily rag, I’m chipping away at some proper writing. It’s about my recent visit to Maryon Park in London, a film nerd pilgrimage of sorts. Amongst other themes, in search of the sound of two poplar trees that don’t exist any more (or did they ever exist?)

No sign of dead fish or decimated seagrass ecosystems at Lady Bay yesterday afternoon. Small mercies.

Last Saturday…wait, what? An electric guitar? A neckerchief? In a band?

New data science blog post! Link in bio. Almost exactly two years ago I deployed a pair of AudioMoths on a property in Yankalilla. What better material for a Python scikit-maad use case? I render some circadian soundscapes with a handy little workflow.

There's a new post coming soon to my data science/acoustic ecology blog, Wrangling In The Antipodes. Documentation of a preliminary dive into the possibilities of the excellent Python package, scikit-madd.

Friday night normcore having a responsibile stout, making a curry and listening to the new Stereolab album. All of these things are good, but the latter is really, really good.
