Right is the new Left…

An amazing week exploring Iceland with two of my best friends (my old uni housemates).

I am fascinated by the natural world around us, by all the amazing creatures that share it with us & the ways they & their habitats fit together. Having finished my PhD in Ecology in 2010 I set off to see Australia & New Zealand for several months to escape! This blog began then, I'v... full info
