Research students - 2007

 
Amy King
Amy head & shouldersThis is my third year working on the Tawny owl research programme, and I am very much looking forward to tracking the owls again this year.

Since the end of the project last year I have been volunteering for the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust as a Conservation Trainee. I have been learning practical habitat management techniques including scrub clearance, tree felling and surveying.

In October I am staring a Wildlife Management and Conservation Masters at The University of Reading.

 
Laura Keighley
LauraThis is my first time working on the Tawny Owl research programme and I am delighted by the opportunity to learn how to track owls.

I am currently on the second half of my Industrial Placement for my Animal Science (Behaviour & Welfare) degree and in September I am heading back down the University of Plymouth for my final year.

 
Tracey Unwin
TraceyI worked on the Tawny Owl Release Project in 2005, and am now back to help out with the Project as it enters its third year.
I am also just finishing an MSc in Animal Behaviour and Welfare at the University of Edinburgh, and have recently returned from India where I was conducting my dissertation research on a troop of wild rhesus macaques.

I hope to continue in the field of research, with primates and birds being my main areas of interest.

 
Ludovic Jégousse
LudovikHello, I’m French and I‘m doing a training course at the Hawk Conservancy Trust since April. I have a research master in Ecology, Animal Behavior and Evolution which I passed at the University of Rennes. This is the first time I have worked with birds - previously I have worked with Asian Elephants in a zoological park and the subject of my research master was about migration of juveniles’ brown trout. So here I help on the park, some days I do some research and now I take part in the Tawny owl project.
