A year ago today, Tom and I wrote our first blog post on Zoomology.
It has been a very rewarding journey. We have learnt so much with each post we have written, not only about the species and places we have covered, but also about our own ‘voice’.
Here are all of our blog posts to date by location. We certainly endeavour for there to be many more in the future!

Hi Liz,
Thank you very much for your message!
I never realised that it was the same day as the U.S. Thanksgiving. 😛 We definitely have plenty to be thankful for with all of the opportunities we have had to encounter wildlife! How lucky we are.
It was actually a very interesting exercise organising our posts by country. I can’t believe how many places we’ve visited in a year! We hope you enjoy exploring our posts in this way, too. 😀
Thanks again,
Emma 🙂
