Communication

Which ways do you prefer to communicate?

I quite like having Discord as I only use it for Uni. I also use Whatsapp and Facebook. What other methods do you use?

Ecosystem - Titchfield Haven, Hampshire

I'm interested in the ecosystem/s around Titchfield Haven. Located fairly near to where I live, it's a unique nature reserve where the river meets the sea. There are many wading birds, raptors, songbirds and more that feed on the scrapes, in the reed-beds and in the surrounding woodland. Titchfield Haven also has a few ponds. There are myriad flora and fauna year round, not to mention microorganisms. I plan to visit soon to gather some of my own primary reference.

Rock pool ecosystems

I'm quite interested in the ecosystems in rock/tide pools. They are small but still have an entire ecosystem. The creatures within must also be able to endure extreme temperature changes, salt levels e.t.c. The inhabitants constantly change as well as the tide brings in and takes away organisms.

Mycelium Network.

I began by looking at the book Entangled Minds by Merlin Sheldrake which talks about the ecosystem beneath our feet that interconnects all living things within our planet. For example, “Fungi can create networks with plant roots too. Through their mycelium, fungi can partner with the roots of plants, including trees, creating a cross-kingdom web known as mycorrhizal (meaning 'fungus-root’)”

I feel there is a lot of links to be made with this topic and look forward to exploring the way in which the ecosystems within our world helps create and sustain life.

While researching I found wetlands (mainly pounds). Because of their large variety of wildlife, plant life and aquatic life I think it would be interesting to research how they all work together and exciting to illustrate using different methods.
