Think I spoke too soon last year when I said that I probably wouldn’t be out in the field again for this phd! But I can officially say now that this is it!

Finished the fieldwork element of my PhD with a gorgeous great tit nestling

The final photo on my phone from my field season this year. Most likely the last time I’ll get to hold a nestling during this PhD! #ornithology #plasticpollution #WomenInSTEM

@StA_Nestboxes @BlueTitEcology @ProfWild_Brum @RichardBufton @WythamTits @LES_UniBham @MadingleyBirds @birdcognition It does all seem very early! We have got some nests that are only just getting started with nest building though!

[Imogen Mansfield (she/her) @imogen_LM]

The first nestlings of my first ever field season. Definitely the highlight of my PhD so far!! #TheGreatEggRace @BlueTitEcology @ProfWild_Brum @RichardBufton

[Imogen Mansfield (she/her) @imogen_LM]

@BlueTitEcology It was yesterday at the earliest but no sign yet!

[Imogen Mansfield (she/her) @imogen_LM]

We have warm eggs! 14 eggs to be precise! TheGreatEggRace @BlueTitEcology
