Next steps?
Let's get accelerometers on as well the GPS units we used here, to look at defining nightjar behaviours better and thinking about energetic, and knock on effects of foraging behaviour on individual condition, and fitness.

We found that nightjar movement behaviour is primarily influenced by sex, and the lunar cycle as well as the habitat they are in, pointing to a combination of variables that influence foraging efficiency and prey accessibility.

I'm not saying I buy it/ these things, but consumers do, generally. Obviously. It's hard for people to break said cycle when they don't have any money to make other choices.

but people often make the most affordable choices, and the corporations can drive use of particular products that make them money. If they can produce stuff cheaply, with plastic (whatever that might be), then they can make profit, because they know people will buy it, because it's cheap.

Likewise. I don't use it, but was slightly forced into a situation where i did (lack of time, lack of colleagues etc) and even with my very rudimentary experience/use of python/bash, I found more solutions than it did in the couple of hours I spent using it.

Not for me.

Terrifying. I would be beside myself. I really hope he's ok.

We were also treated to this INCREDIBLE sunrise over the Senegambian border. Along with monkeys, parrots, pelicans, yellow billed kites and hooded vultures.

Also lucky enough to get stunning views from the plane over the Atlas mountains and Sahara.
