Hummingbirds, trapdoor spiders, mountain crabs, fuscous flycatcher (sorry birders), nibbled by jumping guabines - just some of the highlights on a rainforest trek on the Cardiff University School of Biosciences Tobago field course. Thanks to Zolani for being an excellent guide #zolanibirding

Another day at the lab for Cardiff University School of Biosciences MRes student Chessie. Note the clever use of headwear to keep a GPS unit above water and receiving data while snorkelling 😁 #Mresbioscience #marinebiology #FieldWorkFriday #unescomab #tobago

⚠️😡Make no mistake, we are angry. This Government has today launched an attack on nature. We don’t use the words that follow lightly. We are entering uncharted territory. Please read this thread. 1/13
