Haidary. Field Practice. Excursion to Nyzhnii Dobrytskyi Pond, July 5, 2018

The first- and second-year field practice in Haidary is ongoing. A huge set of photographs made by the practice photo-paramedic, D.B., is available here. Without competing with him, I will show my own photos taken during a single excursion. Most impressions from that excursion (for example, a night crossing through a forest section where we had just heard a wolf pack howling) cannot be conveyed in photos, but something is reflected in them. We worked well. We released the sample of marked green frogs collected previously. We caught tadpoles. We recorded frog calls and owl cries using a modern audio recorder. We made a geobotanical description of the pond surroundings. And we simply looked at the beauty of Homilshanski Forests National Nature Park. By the way, remind me of one more Ukrainian university besides ours — V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University — where students, as part of the regular curriculum, conduct such practical work on a biological station (twice per month at a station that is more than one hundred years old)!
