...been volunteering to help fellow scientists at the University of Zürich working on chytrid fungi which have been decimating amphibian populations worldwide. You may remember Alf and I going on newt adventures in March ( I posted about it here and here). Today, I left Alf at home with Mr T (who is off work with a ruptured disc in his back...ouch) and went to catch some tadpoles. Mucho fun!

| The coloured marks on the tadpoles head are to locate the tag that had been inserted under the skin. |
It was lovely spending the morning outside in Irchel park working with animals.
No amphibians were harmed in the making of this post ;-)
PS: Alf wishes to thank Juanita for his fan mail!

No problemo Alfie! :D
Funny thing -- I love to look at frog's eggs and tadpoles. But once they morph into frogs, they are no longer appealing to me.
It has been a looooooong while since my days of Biology (I majored in Biology. Who would have believed that???)... so it is refreshing to hear of such things in your blog :)
P.S. I would like to change my 'cannot live without kitchen gadget' to... my slow-cooker. I use it once a week!!!
