I am just back from Slovakia where I was tracking wolf and lynx to help monitor population sizes. Daydreaming of the possibility of coming across these tracks in Scotland one day.

My reports are officially handed in and I’m not off for the rest of the year!

A break is very much needed! Now to spend the next month in my second home, Iceland 🤍

My heart is in the highlands

I am so excited to be heading over to Slovakia to help out on a research project on large carnivores. I will be tracking wolves, bears and lynx through the Carpathian Mountains. A complete dream!

Found a full fox skeleton this morning on a frosty forest walk

Did you know that wolves and ravens share a surprising bond? From hunting together to playing near wolf pups, these two species work in harmony in the wild.

I have a special interest in large carnivore ecology, mainly wolves 🐺

So happy to see so many inspiring scientists on here 🩷

Doing some badger sett surveys today 🦡🩷

Until next time, Iceland 🩷

The EU’s decision to lower the protection status of wolves under the Bern Convention is a big step in the wrong direction.
I have been feeling overwhelmed with eco-anxiety recently. It is hard not to feel like the Earth is doomed when we evaluate all species based on what they can do for us 🐺💔
