Because of my interest in both flora and fauna I switched, after graduation, from the bachelor Plant Sciences to the master Animal Science; both are studies from the Wageningen University & Research. Together with three other students I am asked to do research on a bird called 'Sporophila lineola' in Brazil. An opportunity that I seized with both hands! The four of us have our own project concerning the bird and my project will focus on the song of both father- and motherbird during the nesting season and the meaning that is hidden behind this song. With my blog I will try to take the reader with me in my adventure in the beautiful Brazil.
