What I observed was the feeding area of the Caledonian Park. I act as a camera, watch how animals interact, and record them with sketches. I find that in this small animal society, it is not just animal instinct at play. Feeder design also helps allocate resources and shape spatial order. Perec (1997, p. 50)… Continue reading U1 Methods of investigating | written response

video link：https://youtu.be/w4OjcBS1kMo?si=3ZNxGOXMisSgORJT Through continuous tracking and recording, I categorise the observed interactions into four patterns. OVERLAP– Different species use the same area. AVOID – One species actively avoids another. INTERRUPT – One species changes route or leaves when another appears. CONFLICT– Species compete for food. OVERLAP This shows squirrels and pigeons sharing food.Due to the design of the feeder, pigeons cannot… Continue reading U1 Methods of investigating | week 03

1 In-class Feedback The advice I received in tutorial was that analysis is important, yet I needed to add more supporting evidence. For example, I talked about many interesting interactions between animals in class, but I did not use any medium or method to show them. Meanwhile, I could focus on the surroundings around the… Continue reading U1 Methods of investigating | week 02, weekend

The method I chose to develop was tracking. But I now prefer to call it mapping.Last week, I found that different animals’ feeding behaviours are closely linked to feeders and their biological characteristics. So I first observe the interactions between the feeder and individual species. I also add supplementary data for the feeder. The first… Continue reading U1 Methods of investigating | week 02
