gemfyre- The Fauna Management Course was awesome, but bloody exhausting. 5am starts, some nights didn't get to bed until 10, but the average was 9/9:30.
- My clothes still smell of smelly bait. Rolled oats, meat meal, sardines, fish oil and chicken fat. Anyone have any ideas how to get the smell out of clothes?
- Smelly bait is meant to attract chuditch and not so many woylies. We caught 6 woylies, 2 chuditch and 4 possums with it.
- Chuditch are soooo cute! And so docile to handle. Interesting that the carnivores are the easiest to deal with.
- Woylies are psychos in traps, they bounce around and hurt themselves and turf out their joeys (lucky that didn't happen this course - but it's happened every other one). Woylies eat fungi mainly - hrmmm, maybe that explains things.
- Possums are also cute, but their claws are nasty. And some just have shitty temperaments.
- Caught 3 frogs in pit traps - a record. Then the next day's group got 5. *rolls eyes*
- 3 new lizard species for me, 1 new frog.
- I discovered that if you have lived in the country all your life, you may not have heard of Weird Al Yankovic (don't worry, I intend to fix that).
- Catering was awesome.
- A couple of the days some bananas appeared in the fruit bowl - I managed to yoink one and eat it all, although I was made to feel terribly guilty even though I DID offer to share it.
- Matresses sucked, you lay on them and hit the wood underneath.
- That'll do for now.
