Dolphins made me braver!
I’ve never been very brave, but this internship made me face my fears: to interact with people I don’t know and to try new experiences. I’ll go home braver. I had my first surf lesson, travel alone by train, saw dolphins, birds, fish and geckos. I will never thank enough these people!
An amazing day out on the Ligurian Sea
The DDP team had an amazing survey out at sea, they observed a group of bottlenose dolphins with several fascinating behaviours and interactions.
Birdwatching with Enrico
La giornata si è conclusa ammirando un bel tramonto. One of the best days spent in Liguria was when I did birdwatching the ornithologist Enrico Carta. We observed many species in Oneglia with our binoculars: a way to admire animals colors and behaviors without disturbing them.
