SHERI MYLER THE CFZ INTERN: Day Six


Sheri Myler, our student who is doing a series of placements with us over the next year or so is back for her second stint. Once again, I am putting her to work and she will be blogging each day about her time here...

Another day, another crack at Eberhart. We’ve got most of the way through “C” totally finished, pictures, formatting and all. I did some of this on my own, while Jon got on with other, more pressing, things, such as a fag break, but the majority was collaborative.

There was also a trip out in an attempt to locate some frogspawn. There is a theory that the January frogspawn, being genetically inferior, is supposed to die and, in doing so, leaves more nutrients in place for the later lot of frogspawn. This is potentially the reason that all the frogspawn that the CFZ has attempted to rescue in January always dies.

While we didn’t actually manage to find any frogspawn, we did see the most amazing rainbow that I have ever seen. It was the full rainbow, rather than just one end, and was of the brightest of colours. Living in a city, there is more pollution and buildings in the way of things like this.

There were considerably less moths about on the cat hunt. However, tonight did up the ante a little with a rat, a vole and finally another badger. Also, Jon did seem to be hallucinating frogs, as he pointed out several that nobody else saw. Perhaps last night’s amphibian antics were still playing on his mind.
