L6th Form Biologists enjoyed their Field Day...
On Tuesday the L6th Form Biologists took part in a Field Day, which involved a Birds of Prey Workshop in the morning, and a river sampling trip in the afternoon. The morning’s workshop was run by Pitcombe Rock Falconry, and Alan Wells gave the pupils a fantastic insight into the lives of the 6 birds of prey he brought with him - focusing primarily on competition and predation, which was very relevant to the A Level Biology course. The highlights had to be Winston, the Barn Owl with beautifully soft feathers, Mississippi the Bald Eagle with an 8ft wingspan, and, of course, Gilbert, the Turkey Vulture who was a real character and very much a local celebrity in the South West!
In the afternoon, we headed downstream along the River Brue, where the pupils carried out their Assessed Practical, which involved river sampling and investigating how environmental factors affect the distribution of species. The L6th Form got thoroughly stuck into their investigations, showed great team work and managed to identify a plethora of species - we found more crayfish than we have ever seen before in the Brue. After gathering some excellent data, the afternoon finished off with ice creams which was very much deserved by all.
