Jersey
Well, here I am in Jersey and I'm having a great time. I've been working at the Durell Wildlife Conservation Trust in their education unit and am enjoying almost every minute of it, I'm not so keen on complaints :P. Dealing with the public is a bit of a chore at times, but generally it's really fun, the kids are great and I have been working long after closing time almost every day, which just shows how good it is!.
I'm quite excited about this week because I am going to be giving my first animal talk, about tamarins and habitat fragmentation, which is a morning talk, so hopefully there wont be so many people there. Then I've got to learn about Gorillas so that I can give the gorilla talk, possibly in a week or so. While i've been here I've also been having riding lessons to get some practise in before I start at Cambs in September (I'm so excited about that!) and I'm comming off the lunge next time which will be good. My horse is calle Thomas (his friend is Jerry.... ) and he apparently doesn't always "listen to the leg" so he could be a bit of a challenge.
On another note, I saw a red squirrel yesterday which made me happy.
I'm heading into the zoo this afternoon to take some pictures for a display, so hopefully the sun will stay out a little longer!
