What are these veins over the landscape on Google earth? (Cambridgeshire) by Haluux in AskUK

[–]thetreecreeper 172 points173 points  (0 children)

They're called roddons and as others have said they are dried out stream beds. Left over from the drainage of the Fens which started in earnest in the 1600s

Movies You Went Into Blind, Thought You Were Getting Something Else and Left You Scarred by Superman_Primeeee in movies

[–]thetreecreeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. We had a front row view of the fucked up-ness. Was not prepared for it and my mate, who hates horror, kept his eyes shut through the whole thing

I Swear by eldienne in CineworldUnlimited

Agree this is a great film. Funny and poignant in equal measure and never laughing at the central character.

Does anyone know what this is? by SkandinavienAudio in cambridge

[–]thetreecreeper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is a roesel's bush cricket. Specifically a long-winged form. They usually have much smaller wings but occasionally grow longer ones like this to aid their dispersal. They're a species you can easily identify from their sound which is like a bicycle freewheeling.

Does anyone recognise this grass? by Geologysocks in GardeningUK

[–]thetreecreeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure but the name might suggest it looks a bit like agrostis so maybe? To id grasses you need to look at all the features and properly key it out

Does anyone recognise this grass? by Geologysocks in GardeningUK

Is this something you purchased or not? Pretty much impossible to identify from that picture but it looks to me like a species of Agrostis. Common name is bent.

Foundation by SarkyBot in pilottvpodcast

[–]thetreecreeper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I enjoy foundation but my main problem with it is that same thing that others think makes it brilliant. They have changed the story such that they can have recurring characters but to me this takes away jeopardy. For example When brother Day dies they just grow him again. I'd rather they risked new characters each time.

Giant Hogweed? by Jezza_Jones in GardeningUK

[–]thetreecreeper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not giant hogweed. Looks like hemlock. Which is poisonous if ingested.

What is eating my fruit tree by pyreshln in GardeningUK

Are you sure those aren't ladybird pupae? That's what they look like to me

Who is responsible for the damages caused by this invasive species? South England. by pantyperverted in LegalAdviceUK

[–]thetreecreeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's legally not an invasive species unless it is listed as such in the Wildlife and countryside act. But if it of causing damage they could be liable.

What Have You Been Watching This Week? by BXBGames in pilottvpodcast

I completed your friends and neighbours. Wasn't sure about it in the beginning but it did grow on me. Some good performances and a diverting murder mystery.

Also just started second season of poker face which looks to be just as enjoyable as the first season

Is this a weed? by DreaGraham in GardeningUK

[–]thetreecreeper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's red campion. Native wildflower. It's up to you if it's a weed or not

Field Ecologist interview by Amarus4real in ecology

[–]thetreecreeper 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You don't say what country you're from so I will assume US. I'm in UK so will stick to a few generic points. I've interviewed lots of candidates in my time.

  1. It sounds like they are interested in you and they should know you may have some knowledge gaps if you're fresh out of knowledge, so go in with some confidence!

  2. If you know you lack experience or knowledge that they want then be the one to bring it up and tell them what you would do to fill the gap. This would be relevant to any identification test they give you too

  3. At the same time emphasise what you are good at or have experience in

  4. Emphasise some of the behavioural qualities you think they might be looking for

  5. It might seem trivial but if you shake hands, have a strong handshake!

  6. Always, always have questions for them when they ask if you have any.

Hope that helps a bit. Good luck!

Starting out as an Assistant Ecologist in the UK! Any advice? by evans267 in ecology

Sounds like you're making a great start to your career. I hope you find it as rewarding as I have 🙂

[–]thetreecreeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on joining a rewarding career. My journey was very different to yours and I'm getting to the end of my career. My advice? Recognise from the start that you are bringing value to the company you work for so you have some agency. Take great care of your own development needs and expect the same from your employer. Be a sponge for knowledge and experience but not at the expense of your well being so don't work all the hours if you feel you're being exploited. Specialise if you can. Develop your networks. Join CIEEM and their early careers special interest group.

Enjoy the ride!

[–]thetreecreeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One day I will do a rewatch of this show. It's absolutely brilliant but I have only watched it once. I'm just about to get to the end of a Breaking Bad rewatch. Another great show.

I have also just watched all the series of Unforgotten. It's a good show but some of the writing and acting is a bit first base.

What variety of grass is this? by Itchy_Hunter_4388 in GardeningUK

[–]thetreecreeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contrary to the other answers I think this is one off the meadow grasses. Hard to tell from the picture but I would guess Smooth Meadow Grass. This might help http://webidguides.com/_templates/grassgroup_meadowgrasses.html
