We are back!  This time in the British Virgin Islands with a whole new team.  Please Welcome Alex Scott, Beth Taylor, Niall McLoughlin and Phoebe Mottram… photos to follow.  We are staying in a villa set for a Saudi Arabian King thanks to some very generous property owners who wanted to support the conservation work.  BVI is simply gorgeous, lush volcanic mountains and picture postcard turquoise seas and so far people have been extremely welcoming.

We are already in our third week and so far everything and anything seems to be going wrong – we’ve had a repeated dead battery on the jeep, the boat cutting out on us, clouds of mosquitos every where, a variety of injuries and illnesses as well as other logical nightmares and a cake full of maggots.  This morning I watched in horror as a hand sized scorpion scuttled out from under the data entry table… but that is field work for you!

We’ll have to catch up with the blog and I’ll get some pictures on here quickly!

Good to be back – Sarah
