Them: When does your field season end? Me: Around mid-August usually. Spotted flycatcher with nest material in its mouth: Oh, does it now? 🤨 Definitely ready for a holiday now 😴

V cool!

Not hand-written that much text since undergrad exam season. I think this pile of thank you cards just goes to show how important public involvement has been in my PhD. Spotted flycatchers have an affinity for rich people with fancy houses 🤷🏼‍♀️ #projectSPOFL (is coming to an end)

Update. Why don't posh houses have letterboxes?
