Year 12/13 Biology Field Trip: Donana


Following Mr Hogans informative fish farm trip the Sixth Form biologists went on a weekend trip to beautiful Donana to investigate the plight of the lynx. The trip was very informative, exhausting and great fun...so thank you Mr Hogan for orgainising it.

My personal highlight, I think, was the three hour midnight walk where we all wore our pyjamas under our clothes because it was so cold and spotting glow worms, a boar footprint and some unusual lynx poo.

Other highlights was learning about the strange pharmaceutical properties of local plants and the lore surrounding the plants: some of the stories would make your hair curl!!

I look forward to many more fun trips.
