On the one hand the retro little Fiat 500 courtesy car the body shop loaned me is pretty darn cute. On the other hand - I’m very very intrigued to see whether I can get 100kg of Africa field kit into a two-seater next week 😂😂

At our @mbchimp.bsky.social field site in northern Guinea the bees like to nest inside of the long drop toilet.. this makes the need to drop trousers over it an outstanding exercise in core body stability and maintenance of calming thoughts...

Are you an ecologist? I'd love to chat to you about you experiences in the field as background research for Fieldwork, our short film project. I'm curious to know what you're studying, where, why & what's ever gone wrong (because something always does!)

So I am meeting some people this afternoon to talk about Cheetah Project and my research. Problem is, I've torn a big hole in my trousers.

Does this count as a #FieldWorkFail?
Fieldwork Christmas this year included rescuing several pairs of knickers & a sock from the trees because the colobus monkeys at camp are little fiends with a jones for laundry detergent & decided to decorate 😂
Pretty sure this was not on my last risk assessment 🙈

Bugoma field connection is abysmal at the best of times but when the forest sends surprise-hornets to your one teeny tiny network spot it feels like it’s getting a tad personal 😂
Ill just be over here swearing until I can feel my arm again 😑

I've got a question mark on the animal attack because I've been threatened by baboons (which I why I kept a giraffe leg bone on my porch- I thought I could use it for self defense like a baseball bat) but never actually attacked.
