I WAS A BAD GIRL. I BREATHED AMSTERDAM'S AIR.
Old Amsterdam cheese. Someone poked it, not me!
According to Charmaine, I was sulking on the transit flight from Amsterdam to Manchester and my face was green. :/ After a torturous 6 hour drive from Manchester airport to Wales (with me throwing up my lunch cause I was so badly dehydrated), we finally reached Dale Fort Field Study Centre. How happy was I. Beat that, almost 24 hours of non-stop travelling.
Jiahe, Me, Wan Ting and Joy. Grided quadrat sampling on Frenchmen's Steps.
This reminds me of some China kungfu movie. Oh yes, we were deprived of TV in Dale Fort but all the chit chatting and laughing still compensated for the loss. (:
Sheep/cattle tooth. Yes they are that stupid to fall over cliffs. Maybe pigs are smarter.
Lichen. The air's pollution free, many times better than Singapore.
So we had to do loads of walking to get to different cliffs to conduct our activities. Like we walked across the headland to count rough periwinkles to make comparisons as well as capture sandhoppers to calculate it's population at Castlebeach.
So this is DaleFort Field Study Centre captured from the other side. Yea it's a converted fort.
Joy's the best at taking "emo" shots.
Joy: "Why are you all not turning around!"
Hmm we walked to a saltmarsh (similar to a mangrove) to look at the succession of plants and also to try out another form of quadrat sampling.
TRENCH OF DOOM. :D
BLACK ANAEROBIC MUD beneath a thin layer of brown aerobic mud. Getting over the trench was spectacular, with so many of us getting stuck keep deep in the mud.
Haha dragging the seine net aross the estuary was fun! We only had a minute after bringing the net up to shore and capture those trapped creatures before we had to pull the net back into the estuary to release the unrescued animals.
"Ahh here got crab!" "Fish! Fish!" "Where is the bucket?!" Chaos. (:
It's us against the water current.
I made this and I have no idea what for. I wanted to use the flat rocks to learn how to skip rocks from Mr Evans but decided not to throw it away.
Ohh I saw this while walking back from the saltmarsh. We can all testify that there's such strong wind.
Grassholm lab where classes were conducted. Downstairs were scientists doing their annual scientists. Mann, the equipments they used were so pro.
Our room, our bunk beds, our dirty little secrets. (:
Yes I remembered to take a photo of the door ledge before leaving the centre.
Last shots at Dale Fort.
The Giants' Causeway. Apparently if the mist clears up, you ought to be able to see Scotland.
The causeway is very beautiful isn't it.
The giant which slowly became a duck and a frog and don't know what else.
Enniskellen castle!
