Same day, one year apart.
Last year we had a lovely field covered with #wildflowers supporting wildlife and connecting people to nature.
This year is just sad browning clippings.
@ReadingCouncil we can do better, for #nature and people

Yesterday I examined a PhD in Spain at Universidad de Alicante, excellent research by Adrian Orihuela, and AMAZING after party with food, pool, and a music concert 😃
And a visit to El Hondo wetland where we saw flamingoes too
10 out of 10, will be back if invited again 😉

Amazing fun in our #SouthAfrica Ecology & Conservation Field Course @ReadingBioSci @UniofReading
Students learned about wildlife ecology & behaviour, as well as conservation management & engagement.
We used various survey methods, some requiring hard labour with shovels & picks!
ALT Hard work setting up pitfall traps in hard soil
ALT Learning and practising the use of survey tools like radio telemetry
ALT visiting a local school to discuss conservation with the children
ALT learning about herps
In the field course students also design & conduct research projects in small groups. Data is collected on site & next semester they will analyse & present findings in a mini symposium.
All the learning is wrapped with fun activities & reflection times over a fire or at sunset
ALT Students collecting data on a bee eater colony
ALT Kayaking on the Tugela river
ALT Everyday there was time for a good chat around the fire
ALT African sunsets are the best (our group contemplating the end of the day)
