The organisation Operation Wallacea are currently looking for ornithologists to join them to assist with bird surveys (either point counts or mist net surveys).
For example, they are currently recruiting for someone to join them in the Tarnava Mare region of Transylvania. It's a great opportunity to encounter and ring European species not often encountered in the UK such as Hawfinches, Hoopoes, Golden Orioles, Bee-eaters, Wrynecks and large quantities of Red-backed Shrikes.
Costs on-site such as food and accommodation will be covered and a travel bursary would be available for experienced applicants. They are looking for individuals who have a desire to learn and enthusiasm for conducting field work in remote and potentially basic locations. Working with small groups of students is also an important aspect of this role as the research is funded by the attendance of students eager to learn research techniques.
They have positions available in Romania, Croatia, Dominica, Ecuador, Fiji, Guyana, Honduras, Indonesia, Madagascar, Mexico and Peru.
