This little guy got me PRETTY good 😂 Full on tip of finger (under the nail) good 😖

Still a cutie though! ♥️

Measurements taken, shiny little bracelet (ring) added & safely released to continue on with it's day. *All under license*

Had a WONDERFUL day ringing yesterday. Check out my species record 🥰

After a really physically & emotionally tough year (before even adding uni into the mix! 🤯) I am RELIEVED to disclose that I have achieved:

✴️ Biology of survival (S295) - grade 2

✴️ Cell biology (S294) - grade 2

At level 2 with @OpenUniversity

@DerbysARG @ARGroupsUK Was there really any doubt? 😉 Found a few teething issues but very easy to fix. Pleased it was well received ☺️👍

I'm helping man the stand tomorrow for my yearly herpetology fix 👍

[Derbyshire ARG @DerbysARG]

Come and visit our stand next weekend at the Derbyshire Woodland Festival. We are at Stand 144 in Zone D (near lots of food stands) on the track from the white bridge over the top of the lake to the Castle and farm buildings

In about another hour I will be starting my (2nd year) 3hr cell biology exam which I had to postpone in June due to ill health 🤞😬🤞 Fairly nervous. See you all the other side 😅

@BritishEcolSoc @sahamahasweta Oooh looking forward to this as starting my earth science module next month with @OpenUniversity & love a bit of paleontology 🥰

[📚👩‍💻 Ms. Alexandra @LAlexandra_UK]

Crabby but beautiful little Robin (handled under license). It's been given a ring already by someone else & is a young bird as inside it's mouth wasn't black yet 👍
Adding to our scientific understanding ❤️ Flew off safely after a few health checks & measurements.

I've had a rough year & burnt out between fluctuating health, supporting my own family, supporting friends & trying to stay active with wildlife conservation projects. Oh, & doing 2 university modules at once 🤣

I've stepped back the past couple of months to try & recharge 👍

[📚👩‍💻 Ms. Alexandra @LAlexandra_UK]

I have given up on instagram for now as I really wanted to use threads but it's not set up for scheduling posts yet.

I have set up a separate X (twitter) account though under PT_Nerd_UK to keep my personal life/posts a little separate 👍☺️

[📚👩‍💻 Ms. Alexandra @LAlexandra_UK]

I still have🐦 but don't check it regularly. Most people I was connected to have left🙄

I can be found on one of these - created in an random ADHD hyperfocus moment 😆

@RaptorPersUK @ChrisGPackham @MeganMcCubbin @IoloWilliams2 @natalieben @Team4Nature @RareBirdAlertUK @DrAmirKhanGP @LeagueACS @gill__lewis @N_E_R_F @Animal_Watch Can't believe the filth and trouble from the guy who probably doesn't like birds of prey numbers growing 😠 Keep up the god work @ChrisGPackham and YES, birds Do have a smell 😁👍

[📚👩‍💻 Ms. Alexandra @LAlexandra_UK]

@Au_Erithacus I was selected for the grant this year and went to Dorset with Portland Breakwaters ringing group 🥰 I think I will probably have to self fund to go back next year?

[📚👩‍💻 Ms. Alexandra @LAlexandra_UK]

That's 4 cygnets on my training list 🥰

If anyone can help hook me up with wetlands ringers and/or gull ringers closer to South Derbyshire I would be eternally greatful 💕 I'm a first year T-permit ringer working with passerines but I also ADORE my WeBs counts.
