The only issues I encountered was with trying to implement the first field project that I chose, until I switched to another one. The project that I chose to carry on with was very straight forward and more feasible. I think the experience of creating a study design has opened my eyes to all the possible topics to study, but also gave me more awareness and appreciation of how difficult it can be to implement proper study designs. It takes a lot of patience and dedication to make field observations! I also enjoyed being able to enjoy spending time outside.
