Fantastic time on our field course to Freiburg & Black Forest (Germany) this week, looking at sustainable mobilities, human-nature relationships, and coexistence with a lynx reintroduction case study.
Using only low carbon transport, we saved 86% of CO2e compared to flying.
Excited for next year!

En route to a writing retreat, a privileged opportunity to develop my post-PhD thinking around human-wildlife interactions in #reintroductions.
And it's off to a beautiful start, with views of my local estuary from the train window

On the train to Liverpool for #BES24 with @uoe-creww.bsky.social colleagues!
I'll be presenting Friday on the social feasibility of #wildcat #reintroduction in the south west - see you there?

In Freiburg, we looked at #BehaviourChange, #Mobility and #SustainableCities.
Then at Lake Titisee we explored (renewed) #Coexistence with #Wildlife.
(We were lucky with the weather, experiencing both warm spring sunshine and snowfall)

Last week, we had the privilege of taking 42 final-year @ExeterGeography students to Freiburg & the Black Forest (Germany) for the new #Environmental Futures field course.
To get there, we used only #LowCarbon #transport (no flights!)

This month I've a new rail commute that takes me along the #Exe Estuary, so I started a commuting #bird list.
Today I reached 20 species from seven daylight journeys, including #Spoonbill! See evidence shot taken with my phone this morning

Today, @MayorofLondon helped to release five beavers into an enclosure in West London, for @CitizenZoo and @WildlifeEaling's beaver project.
It will be fascinating to see next how local people engage and respond in this urban setting

Mindblown by the last week! Beautiful 15km swim between the #IslesofScilly in the #ScillySwimChallenge, followed by my first #Minke #Whale en route back to the mainland aboard the #Scillonian! When can I go back?
