@Chaffinch it's pretty sheltered where she has her nest so I hope so!
They have it rough! It amazes me how much animals go through just to stay alive. Voles metabolisms are so high they have to eat almost constantly and when you're only the size of someone's thumb the world is a dangerous place!
@Chaffinch poor little things must be fridgid. There's a robin nested in our backgarden, in an ivy covered wall and the poor thing is running herself ragged; she must have chicks.
@Chaffinch how goeth the ornithology? have you seen anything interesting? :)
I wrote a little about my first few days using Mastodon

@ayuri_kannnagi Who is that, Alphonse Mucha?
@Chaffinch You cover lots of specific stuff about general taxonomy: major clades of fish, mammals, insects, birds, microbes etc, and then lots of stuff on ecology and behaviour. How to study animals safely and non-invasively, that kinda thing. Not a lot of "these are finches, these are trefoil, these are crickets" XD
I did a lot of plant ID during my dissertation (that was learn it yourself) but the rest from books and documentaries!
@Chaffinch Definitely more interesting. To be honest you probably know more than me; it's weird but they don't teach much species ID or natural history stuff on a biology course.
