Mini Bio

With binoculars, a camera, and a rucksack filled with literature on the area, I was prepared to guide my first group around the Orkney Isles back in 1997. Since then, I have led a wide range of groups throughout Scotland and England, specialising in ornithology and natural history.

Born in Yorkshire and raised in a rural village in Dumfries and Galloway I soon found myself exploring around the local loch and developed a thirst for all things within the wonderful natural world. This eventually led to a career in ranger/warden work throughout the UK, from remote islands to the city suburbs. Now, as a freelance ecologist, I am privileged and fortunate to be able to share my knowledge as a guide of the great outdoors, from our wildlife and history to its folklore and wonderful culture.

Favourite Place to Play

Birding the local patch is my therapy. Photography up the hills, coast and glens takes me to another world.

Not a lot of People Know This

Along with my brother back in 1992 we pioneered bird migration on the Isle of Foula (Shetland Isles).
