It is always fantastic to see our student's work in the wider press, whether it is their photography, films or research about wildlife behaviour.

Here, James Clements who is moving up into 2nd Year in September, observed fascinating interspecific feeding between an adult Robin feeding a juvenile Dipper.

Fascinating behaviour to see and brilliant to have recorded it so well in some lovely photos, well done James!

Robin seen feeding Dipper chick in Perthshire Unusual parental behaviour was recently noted between European Robin and Dipper along a quiet river in eastern Scotland.
