That's why Anne's gone to Iceland!
10 June 2011
Anne Harrison is embarking on her annual trip to Iceland to monitor Common Scoter
Such is the passion and dedication to conservation of our staff that often even their holiday time is spent working.
Anne has been travelling to Iceland each summer to monitor the breeding grounds of the Common Scoter in the Arctic tundra. This year Anne will join a team hoping to find some birds that were radio tagged last year as chicks so that we can discover more about their movements and help to inform conservation policies. The team is led by the Icelandic Institute of Natural History and Denmark's National Environmental Research Institute (NERI).
In February last year, record numbers of Common Scoter were found off the coast of Wales when the weather conditions were a possible contributing factor in pushing higher numbers of them to our shores for the winter.
Let's hope Anne and the team have some success and that the volcanos behave!
