This is my 500th post on this blog. I’ll use it to honour Global Food Security by inviting you to read what two of the authors there, Richard Pywell and Ben Woodcock, say about the value of native wildlife on farms.

Congratulations with the 500 milestone!
Thank you. I used this post to mention Global Food Security because they deserve it, and because their article about wildlife on farms is an important one. Also because one of the people who writes for Global Food Security (not that particular paper) is the person who suggested I try science blogging. And now look.
Wow, congrats for 500 posts! I just hit 50 today and thought “man, that’s not bad” – still got quite some way to go
Thank you. Your blog is good and I’m glad to have found it.
Good news on the 500. I’m a keen follower of the many topics which you cover. You do a good job of keeping us all well informed.
Aw shucks!
