Hellooo, Sorry it has been a while since I last updated you all. Has been quite busy here and January has flown by! So since I last posted, I have been helping Valou do her last habitat analysis plots (she left today, sad times!) and Danica returned from Canada, so it was nice to have her back. We've had quite a few visitors this month also, including someone you may know. The first lot were a Swiss family who own a zoo and just wanted to check out the place...

Hi, Sorry I haven't posted for a while, but I have been busy writing my Tobago field report and now it is FINALLY handed in! I thought I would never get it finished. I can't really remember what has happened since I last posted.... When the Wildlife Rescue Unit was here they managed to collar three elephants! 2 females and 1 male and put up 4 orangutan bridges, you may have seen quite a few photos of articles and elephant pictures I've been tagged in on faceboo...
