The picture shows Tony examining mammouth bones in St Petersburg. He left for Russia early this morning and is staying with his Russian colleague whose husband is a world expert on these creatures. Tomorrow they will be flying to eastern Russia where the Chinese are taking over and where Tony and his group will be studying and catching scaly sided mergansers.
In between the Czech Republic and this trip I managed to fit in a quick trip to Frankfurt and was very relieved to return home on Sunday in time for Tony to leave again today.
