Big Thanks Carl for letting me show some pictures on the blog! I’ll show some photos of Ottenby and the bird observatory where I’ve been working last autumn.

The bird observatory itself is situated on the most… Continue reading A story from Max: bird ringing at Ottenby station in Öland

Meet… Jone!
What have you done before your masters programme? I grew up on a farm in Lithuania. After high school graduation decided to run away from farm life to study in another country.

White-throated dipper that sat down by the lake. As this year draws to an end, we’re getting ready for an (we admit, oddly timed) final exam for our course in Applied Population Ecology.
