#ЖППриключение #СъботноПриключение се завръща (в неделя).
Маршрутът е #Epic.
Потеглянето е в 7 сутринта от Централна гара. Целта е друга европейска столица.

По това време на годината други мъже в криза на средната възраст прекосяват Европа на мотори и кабриолети. Аз се радвам, че ще миткам с влак из Балканите с ето тези сандалки.
#ЖППриключение Image
За пръв път се качвам на влака със самолетния куфар и оценявам колко мисъл и грижа са вложени в обновяването на гара София с 3 различни вида релефни павета, поставени под всички възможни ъгли. Спартанският дух е жив. #ЖППриключение Image

Last year we trialled smart eggs for #kakapo for the first time. Developed by the @docgovtnz electronics team and supported by @MeridianEnergy, these eggs make chick noises, to give the nesting mother a cue that a chick is on the way. #conservationtech #conservation A kākāpō on a nest with one...A kākāpō ‘smart egg’.
We usually remove #kakapo eggs and incubate them artificially, putting a dummy in the nest. But we’ve found that the mother gets the chick back, she often doesn’t feed it well for the first few days. So we have to feed at the nest, which is difficult and risky. #conservationtech ImageImage
We suspect it’s because the dummy egg is inert. Real eggs ‘pip’ a day or so before hatching - that’s the chick vocalising. We think the mother hears this and readies herself to feed the chick. #kakapo #conservationtech #conservation
