📢 One week left to apply for this fully funded PhD project @RHULBioSci with me, @BeckyMicrocebus and @DBHayhow @Earthwatch_Eur. Cool project on tritrophic interactions in urban forests involving the use of #CitizenScience 🌳🐛🐦 #TinyForest findaphd.com/phds/project/ti…
Best way to start the day! Small mammal trapping in the sunshine with @RHULBioSci students on our Practical Field Ecology module. 7 wood mice caught and couldn’t resist taking a pic of one of our many bee orchids on my way to start the lecture! #LivingCampus

Did a little recce of Staines Moor ahead of @RHULBioSci field ecology practical with @BeckyMicrocebus next week. Everything is clad in yellow (buttercups and flag irises) and white (hawthorn) apart from yellow meadow ant mounds, which stand out in red (sorrel). Beautiful!
