Pecked To Death By Penguins: Something A Bit Fishy
http://ruthonbird.blogspot.com/2012/07/something-bit-fishy.html
Pecked To Death By Penguins. Tuesday, 10 July 2012. Something A Bit Fishy. Hugh gets to know the girls. Left to right: Cat, Jen, Hugh, me, Hannah. Did we think that the expansion of the krill fishery would have a catastrophic effect on penguin populations? Do we care about the conservation of these animals and if so why are we not supporting the exclusion of all fisheries from around South Georgia? The weighbridge in action. Group photo with cake. It was delicious. The real stars of the show.

http://ruthonbird.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Pecked To Death By Penguins. Saturday, 20 November 2010. The journey south - Falkland Islands. Passing some quality time in Ascension. Stanley, Falkland Islands. On the 10th of January Falkland Islanders celebrate Margaret Thatcher Day. The legacy of the 1982 conflict lives on. Yes, it was very, very cold. 8211; a Magellanic penguin that was idly hanging out next to his burrow. As a barrage of cameras was whipped out and started clicking frantically away, he shuffled inside. Sunday, 7 November 2010.

http://ruthonbird.blogspot.com/2012/02/back-to-work.html
Pecked To Death By Penguins. Saturday, 25 February 2012. If anyone is still checking this blog with any sort of regularity then apologies for the lack of posts in recent months, and thankyou for your perseverance. Summer is upon us in the South, and with it comes a much increased workload and little time for idle web-based ramblings. Hopefully the following will give you a bit of a catch-up on Bird Island news from the last few months. Room with a view: a geep nest on North Cliffs. The Bobcat comes ashore.

Pecked To Death By Penguins. Wednesday, 7 September 2011. This winter two of our adult Wandering albatrosses have been killed through interactions with fishing vessels. These are the ones we know about – it is likely that others have been killed and not reported. The chicks of these birds are unlikely to survive since they are only being fed by one parent.

Pecked To Death By Penguins: All good things come to an end
http://ruthonbird.blogspot.com/2013/03/all-good-things-come-to-end.html
Pecked To Death By Penguins. Wednesday, 13 March 2013. All good things come to an end. The time has finally come for me to leave Bird Island. It feels like only yesterday that I arrived, yet somehow two and a half years have passed. What a crazy, bonkers, amazing, challenging experience it has been. I have been woeful at writing blog entries for the past year, so here are some events and photos from my last few months on the island. Permanently angry: a male fur seal. The first bulk fuel tank arrives.
