recruitment happen as a recruiter? Did you get a headhunter? Did a headhunter call you? Did they make a placement fee off of you? I mean, how does that, you

know? So, I mean, it's over time, you know, but...

you know, Stern, I really liked working at Stern.

I had like a really good time.

I really liked the people there, right? Like it was a really good environment.

I thought it was like the best environment possible for someone.

Like I had my first job, it was, you know, firmware for a 40 year old product that, you know, I was used by legacy customers and it's very rigid and it's very like, you're going to do this.

Yeah.

[water flowing] Here's Tim Sexton and Tim McKrill to tell us more.

I'm Tim Sexton.

I'm the senior species and recording officer here at Rutland Water Nature Reserve.

We're currently sat in Wader Scrape Hide, which is probably the best place to see the ospreys from, which really are the stars of the show here at Rutland during the summer months.

And we're looking over Manton Bay, which is on the south arm of the reservoir.

[laughs]

People often say, you know, "What gives you hope? We're seeing all this death and destruction in the natural world." And I always refer to Rutland Water and say, "Rutland Water is the hope I have." Rutland Water's celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and in that time, you know, since 1976, we've discovered almost 5,000 species of wildlife here, from plants, insects, fungi, birds of course, which are the most important aspect of the work we do here.

But we're always discovering new species.
