Life on the Edge of the World - Rangatira Island: An unsung forest bird - 28th December

http://rangatirablackrobin.blogspot.com/2010/01/unsung-forest-bird-28th-december.html

Sunday, January 31, 2010. An unsung forest bird - 28th December. We’re mist-netting as much as we can at the moment to make the most of the still weather. Gales are forecast for the next couple of days and apart from checking nests there is very little that we can get done in the cold and rain. We’ve caught a number of un-banded robins in the nets and some tomtit fledglings too, so it’s been successful work. Chatham Island Warbler chick:. The researchers quickly changed their strategy and chose Chatham I...

Life on the Edge of the World - Rangatira Island: The adventure is over.....January 4th

http://rangatirablackrobin.blogspot.com/2010/02/adventure-is-overjanuary-4th.html

Sunday, February 7, 2010. The adventure is over.January 4th. Views from the top of Rangatira Island on a clear day:. At 2pm, over the noise of the engines and radio, we heard the marine radio; “This is Chathams fishermans radio, Chathams fishermans radio.” The forecast for the next three days is wind, rain and 4 metre swells. We had left just in time. University of Canterbury Science Outreach. August 14, 2010 at 4:24 PM. August 14, 2010 at 4:26 PM. My email is drd.craig@gmail.com. View my complete profile.

Life on the Edge of the World - Rangatira Island: Rangatira Island Street - an endless soap opera: December 31st

http://rangatirablackrobin.blogspot.com/2010/02/rangatira-island-street-endless-soap.html

Wednesday, February 3, 2010. Rangatira Island Street - an endless soap opera: December 31st. It’s the last day of the decade, and we’re spending it dodging rain showers and finding out the last bits of bird gossip to complete the endless soap opera that is the life of the Rangatira Island Black Robin population. All these extra little bits of information makes the black robin database as complete as possible so that there is an accurate picture of who is related to whom. It’s hard to believe that i...

Life on the Edge of the World - Rangatira Island: Of rocks and volcanoes - December 27th

http://rangatirablackrobin.blogspot.com/2010/01/of-rocks-and-volcanoes-december-27th.html

Thursday, January 28, 2010. Of rocks and volcanoes - December 27th. We’ve had a few adventures that have involved rocks the last few days with the trip to the Summit and the sleep out on the Rangatira Trig. Here however is what I do know:. What I can tell you for certain is that there are enough flat rocks on Rangatira Trig so that you can fit four mattresses comfortably and no one is in danger of falling off!

Life on the Edge of the World - Rangatira Island: Front Landing - the Riviera of Rangatira - December 29th

http://rangatirablackrobin.blogspot.com/2010/02/front-landing-riviera-of-rangatira.html

Monday, February 1, 2010. Front Landing - the Riviera of Rangatira - December 29th. There is a lot of seaweed and tiny snails on the rock platform. The snails make half of your steps crunchy and the seaweed (a green weed called Ulva) makes the other steps slippery. The platform is far from even and you have to watch yourself as there are some deep chasms and pools here that you could fall into. I just made sure to give her a very wide berth. A seal on the move.

Life on the Edge of the World - Rangatira Island: Eggs - care required when handling! - December 30th

http://rangatirablackrobin.blogspot.com/2010/02/eggs-care-required-when-handling.html

Tuesday, February 2, 2010. Eggs - care required when handling! As it is a wet day here on Rangatira, one of my jobs this morning was to sort out the eggs that we have collected and pack them safely away. What a collection of eggs! A nicely dried egg. Dissecting eggs that have been incubated for over 20 days, can be really smelly work and we make sure to do it outside not to cause too much of a stink in the hut. One egg that we dissected last week was so rotten that it exploded as soon as Melanie brok...
