If it’s got fur or feathers then I’m basically interested! I developed my zeal for ecology during many a formative hour trailing my gamekeeping father around the south Shropshire countryside. Whilst mammals have become a dedication, birds will always retain my devotion with migration and waders a real affection of mine. As happy in the Saharan Desert or in an Estonian forest, if there’s a glimmer of hope of seeing something incredible (in my eyes, even non-descript shrews fall into this category) I’ll be at the head of the queue!
