Animals Galore
March has been a busy month getting animals set up for summer behavioural experiments. Have been busy imprinting ducks and quails onto me, and waiting for the Chinese painted quails to hatch. The Siamese Fighting Fish are getting amorous and building bubble nests, and the polka-dot cockroaches that were the size of my little finger nail are now the size of my thumb! |

Animal Behaviour
1 02 2015
Animal Behaviour Practicals kicked off this week with the students working with Siamese Fighting Fish. Most of the fish behaved as expected, a couple in particular being very aggressive (James Pond: Bubble 07), but also a couple that couldn’t be bothered with anything!

Natures Boldest Thieves
21 01 2015
New nature documentary, “Natures Boldest Thieves” on BBC1 this Sunday, 5:10pm, looking at what makes certain species (and individuals) more prone to interact with humans (and then steal from them). Presented by Lucy Cooke (“Talk to the Animals”), we do an experiment looking at gull boldness and sensory ecology, mixed in with some bits about flight. Was fun to film – a long time ago mind, April 2014. Crazy unseasonal weather (28 degrees C) resulted in me getting quite sunburnt (irresponsible I know). Will be interested to see how/if they’ve toned that down in the post-editing.
