My ornithological adventure began in 1999 when I gained inspiration to study birds during a bird watching day with a local bird guide whilst on holiday in Tobago.
I learnt my fieldcraft at Beddington Farmlands in Greater London after joining the site's bird group. I completed surveys, monitored nest boxes and banded birds becoming the editor of the annual bird report during this period.
I achieved a Diploma in Ornithology whilst working as a Volunteer Co-Ordinator with Para La Tierra at Reserva Natural Laguna Blanca in Paraguay.
I conducted bird surveys on the reserve and analyzed data for my own projects. This data has been published in professional scientific journals.
I guided visitors to the reserve, including students from the University of Miami who were studying as part of their Earth Explorers Master's Degree Course.
I obtained a qualification from the British Trust for Ornithology in Bird Surveying Techniques for Ecological and Environmental Professionals and completed a nest finding course on the Knepp Estate.
I work professionally surveying birds for Bardolf Farms Ltd. I produce the farm's breeding and annual bird report.
I have created my own itineraries for tours to Europe, Africa, South and Central America, Australia, and New Zealand.
I spend my free time developing my knowledge of the key migratory hotspots, reserves, and local specialties in Dorset.
