Research trip through Great Britain & Ireland

Wow – the summer is over and I haven’t written anything. Well, it has been a busy time. I am on a research trip in Great Britain and Ireland – trying to record the calls of Common Crossbills (Loxia curvirostra) for my PhD.

There is very few time to photograph. I have taken almost no photos, just a few of landscape. Nevertheless, here are some of them:

I got up very early every morning and had the chance to see many sunrises and sunsets. This is a sunrise in southern England

Here bracken (Pteridium aquilinum) photographed during sunset

Forest in southern England in the evening

Fellow Deer (Dama dama) early in the morning

Northern Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) in Cornwall

Some spare time thanks to strong wind: Cornwall’s coast during sunset
