LIDICKEN 1981 from back to hotel just after 2300. [illegible] Sept. 22 Met Lick + Lozyk Berger at the Hotel. We were all driven in a PAN jeep to Turew (after a brief stop at the Inst. to pick up a contact page). Turew is about 40 km S of Poznan. We stopped at a village near Turew to get bryndza (go) + cheese, but there was no cheese available. The field station at Turew is centred on the palace built by General Dzykergo Chlapowski who died in 1875. He was an important general + also agriculturalist (trained in Oxford - agric. + France - well) who had a very progressive systems view of the agricultural landscape. Among other things he developed the shelter belt system widely used in this part of Poland. Once at the station I started to work on the live Mus musculus trapped for me in the palace + surrounding area. Except for a brief farewell at a slide show of Turew fauna, I worked until 1630 getting blood, tissues etc from 17 mice + 3 dead ones. Then Lick gave me a quick tour of the palace + grounds, I sat on a stone at the base of a birch tree with which he said his previously stood Napoleon, Frank Golley + Norm French - how could I refuse? We also had a look at some of Berger's boy fields + of the great agricultural landscape when they do their (Saw Tawny Owl near palace.) = Strix aluco
