I had an amazing time at my first ever conferences in Austria with @ethoges.bsky.social and @klf-univienna.bsky.social - including the chance to meet Rosemary and Peter Grant as I hope to follow in their footsteps for my masters in Galapagos finch foraging next year! @univie.ac.at

The final bird out of my final net close after an incredible 2 weeks on Portland!! Thank you to Martin, Jodie, Mark, and the whole amazing community at the Obs- I’ll be back soon. 686 birds ringed/ processed in 31 different species including 14 new species for me in total! 😊

A satisfactory ringing day provided us with our second highest day total of the year - not that difficult when there's only been one 100+ day so far this year: 87 new birds including 18 Storm Petrels overnight (+ another two bearing Jersey rings) and a surprise Goldfinch bearing a Paris ring.
