It’s the silly season; dusk and dawn surveys, torchlight surveys of ponds, and bottle trapping. Some would say that this is why we do the job, being out in the field, seeing amazing sunrises, and beautiful landscapes. We say that too!

In May and June, Baker Consultants ecologists have conducted 63 site surveys.

The sleep deprivation is compensated by the wide range of interesting projects that we now have underway. Even after a crazy May and June, we still want to work with each other, and love coming back to our quirky station office to spot trains (Paul!).

We’ll try to keep you all updated with any exciting finds or developments and when things calm down a bit, we might just publish our list of favoured eating and drinking establishments for ecologists too!
