Handing in 3 projects next month for publication. Perhaps a mistake showing this, but always a worry when work done 12 years ago looks totally rubbish, especially when one has really focused on a subject in depth thereafter - it just has to be repainted! Phew that looks better!
Another big disadvantage of doing projects that take years to complete is that one has to remain pretty quiet about what one is up to! Keeping silent for an artist isn't great as one wants to be showing ones work on a very regular basis.
@bennett_sophie@RSPBScience Won’t be seeing them until later next year - a repeat of the population survey. Edin and Karen were at Tawharanui yesterday- plenty of grey-faced petrels and fluttering shearwaters taking up residence in the next boxes. Chicks galore. so what’s next now yr phd’s handed in?
New paper just out! A biologging approach to understand the moult strategies of Atlantic puffins. We talk about what works, what doesn't, why this topic is so tricky! Thanks to @GannetGuy + team at @uccBEES & @MaREIcentre, plus all coauthors elsewhere 👉 https://t.co/VNYkiBP24t
great to be spending time with these two! @sketchbiologist @edinatw Abby just in the from States, Edin relaxing from our weekend fieldwork on Taranga. More islands coming up! Ok can’t get everything right - but the names on the bottle come close!
Same island - two very different perspectives. Week before ON Nu’utele island. This weekend - a total relax at Aga Reef and gazing out. Supporting one of the many great resort locations here in Samoa.
@CarlileNicholas Fantastic Nicholas - congrats. Getting those loggers back - wow! Saw flocks of white terns following tuna schools from the ferry crossing the Apolima Strait between the two big islands of Samoa two days ago. Here they nest in tall trees. And nah not even tempted!
How much damage can a single owl do to a storm-petrel colony under restoration? Just published on struggles, the hunt for the killer and redemption. You’ve got to love seabirds! https://t.co/UOU8n3dQWG
@jmrbrock@GVRailway Still getting the smoke n cinders out of eyes and Im thousands of kms away. Nostalgic but wouldn’t it be great if all NZ rail networks used electric.
