May = Freedom Time...and I'm now a mother.
Seems like I only post here once a month now. I'll try to be more regular, lawl.
I am now free! Long story short, Uni lectures are over, all assignments are done, and I just have one more exam (On 31st May) to do. These past three years have totally flown by...
Went on a trip to Scotland with the Uni last week. Was a compulsory trip - had to collect data for & write up two assignments, while in Scotland, in a week. Crazy, crazy time. Fun, but sure tiring! x_x
Did one assignment on algae and one on limpets...had to do one on animals and one on plants haha. Most of the data was collected on shore, but we went out on a boat on the last day to do some trawling. Caught loads of awesome stuffs, recorded it, then re-released it. :D Boat was awesome, though. Saw gannets, guillemots, seals and porpoises. Epic!
With regards to the Falconry, I'm now working there full time. Two days off each week, and fun days at work. Awesome so far, fingers crossed it stays this way! Arran is not going to be a show bird...but instead he's been flying to clients on experience days. Woohoo, even better! He's still being a bit of a nutter (Ie, forgetting to let go of the glove on takeoff) but I guess he's a real character, lmao.
Oh, and also, I'm now a mummy. Am hand raising a turkmenian eagle owl for work. He's called Lenny - is now 7 weeks old, bouncing (and almost flying) around my house creating a big mess.
We originally thought he was a she, so called him Penny...the name soon changed, LOL!
2 weeks old on the left, 7 weeks old on the right.
Difference much? :O
He's easily doubled in size...and is still growing. Eek! <3
