Hi everyone, wow....I've been looking at the blog, you have been busy this term!!

| Black-fronted tern |
I've also been busy in my new job as a trainee scientist. I'm working for a company called Wildlife Management, they help to protect our endangered seabirds and shorebirds.

I checked traps in the Molesworth last week. We are helping the endangered Black-fronted tern by catching its main predators cats, ferrets, stoats, weasels and hedgehogs. Can you spot the two traps in the photo?

I studied these albatross to see if they were male/female, what they'd be eating and how old they were. They were caught accidentally on hooks on big fishing boats. They are beautiful birds and can live for around 40 years.
Thanks Mr Robertson for your great update! We have been wondering how you have been getting on out in the field. Great work catching all those pests and protecting our birds.
ReplyDeleteWas lovely to have you stop in and visit today also, the kids were grinning ear to ear!
See you next time, Mrs Muir
