Moved to the city! It was a werk ago, but with the missile attack last week, and the 7.10 anniversary yesterday, writing about my personal life didn't feel right. Anyway, now I don't live in the desert anymore so I need a new hashtag instead of #desert_life for my nature-related posts 🙈

Yesterday I presented a speedtalk about my Msc research at the European Congress of Conservation Biology in Bologna!
I tracked the movement of invasive common mynas at a high resolution, in order to learn how they move around natural and modified desert habitats.

The Asiatic wild ass (Equus hemionus) was successfully reintroduced into the Negev desert, after becoming extinct in the 1920s.
I'm very lucky to have a friend who studies them! -
Some #desert_life from this morning. This pair of Tristram's starlings is habituated to humans because they live in a popular picnic spot. The blackstart got almost as close, but the starlings kept stealing his food!

Went to volunteer on a farm and met this gerbil

CW: War, animal experiments (nothing graphic)
Earlier this week I was cleaning dorm appartments for people displaced by the war.
Today I fed a dead mouse to barn owl my labmate is responsible for, because she left for a couple of days. She's from Bethlehem and we've never really talked about The Situation, apart from sharing how each of us is handling it.
I don't know what the point of this post is, except that I live in a pretty special place.

Some photos from our trip to #Bulgaria
Not actually #desert_life but I did see some cool animals and plants (and fungi!)1. A dunnock looking for food under picnic tables. Never managed to see one in Israel, not to mention one acting like a house sparrow!

Overthinking where to set my traps: trapped maybe 2 birds a month
Putting a trap in a random place because the car couldn't go farther on a bad dirt road: trapped 8 just yesterday 🤯

Tagged two mynas today! Very nice to see them on the map in real time

The baby ibex are not afraid at all right now. Yeah, habituation to humans can cause problems, but look at these tiny horns!

I didn't plan to have so much Israeli politics here when I first made this profile, but life happened.
