Here's a little something to brighten up your Monday 🐦 For the last few months @TrinityHallCamb student Jamie Clarkson, PhD (Engineering) has been working on a project to photograph the kingfishers that live on the river between King’s and @ClareCollege, and has been patiently waiting on the river banks to see them perch on a fence or a branch of a willow tree. In April the breeding season began (with Jamie spotting only the male kingfisher around while the female was incubating the eggs) and at the end of June the Clare College Gardeners heard chick noises coming from the nest! By mid-August the young chicks were spotted at the Mill pond and gradually dispersed along the river. We hope that the adults return to our riverbank next Spring! Thank you to Jamie for these incredible images. 📷 @j.clarkson.photography @CambridgeUniversity #WildlifePhotography #Kingfisher #NatureLovers #BirdWatching #NaturePhotography #CambridgeWildlife University of Cambridge #KingsWildlife

📚Also at the end of her second year as a History undergraduate student, Ritu decided to apply to the Summer Research Programme, and has been working under the supervision of the Senior Tutor on a project entitled ‘Beyond the break with Eton: Access and Widening Participation at King's in the 20th Century.’ “As a College, King’s is regarded for its reputation for diversity and inclusion - this is why I applied to it myself. And yet, from its foundation in 1441 until the mid-nineteenth century, its membership was constituted exclusively by Etonian boys. This research project gives me the chance to unpick, and historicise, this evolution of King’s into the heterogenous College it now is. Sifting through the College Archives has deepened my appreciation for primary source analysis, and the careful labour it requires, but it has also illustrated that the membership of King’s College has historically been fiercely contested. Henry VI’s founding statutes were invoked by both reformist students and reactionary Fellows as arguments for change, from the admission of non-Etonians to the admission of women in 1972. Though still ongoing, I have thoroughly enjoyed producing this timeline of King’s widening participation so far, and have attempted along the way, to excavate those agents who fought for accessibility and progress.” #HistoryUndergraduate #SummerResearchProgramme #CollegeArchives #WideningParticipation #King'sCollege #UndergraduateResearch #AccessToEducation
