The weather has been chilly all spring, but we had a warm couple of days these last two weekends, so Claire and … More Maiden voyage of the kayaks

Oru Kayak donated two kayaks to my project to help with getting to these experimental islets! They’re super light-weight – only 25 pounds, highly portable – they fold into their own over-the-shoulder carrying case, and easy to set up! I can’t wait to get them out on the water! Thanks Oru!

Here we are heading back from a day trip to one of the small cycladic islands, and I decided to take a front-row seat for the action. Yup, I got absolutely soaked, but after a long, hot, … More Waves in the Aegean

So I’ve posted quite a few pictures of Podarcis erhardii but I haven’t shared any videos yet of the lizard actually in action out in the wild. Here are two I took out in the field this summer.
