Just a few pics from the university field trip I did last year to the Atlantic Rainforest, Brazil. Me and a colleague conducted a fish survey in the streams around the local area with VERY limited equipment ( 2x handnets). we managed to catch 135 fish in just 2hours at 4 different sites!! here are a few pics

woke up rather itchy with these little bumps! was caused by leaving my towel outside to dry and something got on it and thus onto me when I dried myself!!
