		<title>Snares Penguin Book Chapter &#8211; Day 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hardly any work done today. Finished the first draft of the taxonomy section. Think I nailed Christidis and Boles (&#8220;Snares penguins are Fiordland penguins&#8221;) quite satisfactorlily. The old problem of theoreticians analysing sterile data without really thinking about the worl out there. I really wonder why taxonomists never consider life history traits when they re-categorize [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snares Penguin Book Chapter &#8211; Day 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Started work on the book chapter for the upcoming IUCN penguin book. It&#8217;s always difficult to get going, that blank page in my word processor always haunts me. But it kicked off okay. Spent most of the morning assembling biometric data from various sources by lunchtime I had about enough of flipper lengths, bill depths [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rain and Leopard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I woke up this morning from the constant crackle of heavy rain on the hut&#8217;s tin roof. Dave arrived for breakfast in full gear, dripping wet. The 20 meters from the lower hut up to the main hut were enough to soak him good. Nobody was too keen to get out and a about in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fake pastry &amp; a cargo haul through carnage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Good morning. How are you?&#8221; Dave&#8217;s voice entered my dreams of giant sea lions chasing me on my way to the toilet. Strangely, it did not sound as if Dave was inside the hut. When I opened my eyes I could see that indeed he wasn&#8217;t. Melanie was still rolled up in her sleeping back [...]]]></description>

		<title>Black &amp; white colonies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Our first full day on the island, and quite busy it was too. After a hearty breakfast we all geared up. Dave jumped into his waterproof pants and almost knee high gumboots. I looked at him in disbelief… outside we had clear a blue sky and sunshine that would make any summer’s day appear [...]]]></description>

		<title>At long last&#8230; arrival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Almost two weeks since our scheduled arrival on the Snares, we managed to get here today. Finally. I thought we&#8217;d never make it. But according to Jason, the skipper of the Foveaux Express, there was a &#8220;window of opportunity&#8221; today,  a break in the weather before the next front blows through.
It was an early [...]]]></description>
