gemfyreSaw Signs last night finally.
Man that is one fucked up movie!! Strange how even tho it's now been out for ages I had no idea what was going to happen next. It was a pretty darn clever movie, just focusing on one family like that and stuff. And I knew that was a Culkin kid!!
What else?
I am dog tired, had to get up at 5am this morning, actually got up at 5:30. Start at 7am at uni. Same tomorrow but tonight at least I will get to bed early. Last 2 days have been cool. Catching birds (mainly New Holland honeyeaters) in mist nets, banding them, taking measurements, releasing them. Noting foraging behaviour, taking transect counts, sitting around chatting, it's all kinda slack. Today I banded a brown honeyeater - these are the things Phantom has a habit of bringing in and they are sooo teeny. When I rush them to the vet after I've got them off Phantom I usually just cup them in my hand and they're fine, but of course a perky one from the banksia gardens has to be held properly and they're so weeny that there's nothing to hold on to!!
Tomorrow we are mist netting down near the swamp on campus. Hopefully will get a lot more interesting species down there rather than just honeyeaters and the odd wattlebird. Heard silvereyes, butcher birds and shrikes down there so hopefully we'll get lucky and catch some. 7am start but apparently finishing around midday, hooray!! Then my "week off" begins. Entertain me people.
