From December 2011 to April 2012 I will be working for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) on Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica, on the penguin and seal long-term monitoring programme.
From August 2008 to March 2011 I worked on the sub-Antarctic island of Bird Island (part of South Georgia), in the South Atlantic, as Zoological Field Assistant- on the penguin and giant petrel long-term monitoring programme and assisting with seal and albatross work.

Spring returns to Bird Island

The Macaroni penguins are back, after spending the winter at sea.

Willis Islands from Top Meadow on a misty spring morning.

Light-mantled sooty albatross awaits the return of its mate.

The gentoo's have settled down to breed and are incubating their eggs.

The Black-browed albatrosses have also returned to their nesting sites.
