Found a stunned swift on the pavement this morning. Picked them up and set them down on a nearby wall to avoid being stepped on. Flapped its wings a bit and set back down after that. It was gone by the time I returned to the spot 5 minutes later
I've never seen a swift close up before, so it was an experience. Had really soft feathers too
Unsure what caused the shock, but its legs were caught in some sort of cobweb.
Hola
Soy una estudiante inglesa. Voy a viajar en España en junio para tomar muestros de suelo para una investigación cientifica para universidad.
No puedo llevarlos de vuelta al Reino Unido - ¡costaría £750!
¿Es posible comprar un kit de analasís de suelo facilmente en España? ¿O alguién sabe cómo obtener permiso llevar reactivos por la aduana?
Muchas grácias. Lo siento si la gramática no es perfecta.
I need to travel to Spain and conduct various ecological analyses, including soil chemical analysis. I won't have access to a lab, so I'll need to carry out a simple soil NPK and pH analysis.
Taking soil samples home would cost me £750, which is just not going to happen.
I'm finding it really hard to find any information about how to legitimately transport a soil NPK kit through Spanish customs, so I want to turn to scientists who may have already done so.
Is it expensive/possible? Do I need forms?
Thanks in advance
