A keen and enthusiastic naturalist I've worked on 'expedition' cruise ships Worldwide and experienced nature at it's best, from the varied coastline of the British Isles and NW Europe, to the stunning scenery of Antarctica and the Arctic, and from the wealth of wildlife in the tropics, to the endemic life of remote oceanic islands.

I've also been a resident naturalist in the Peruvian rainforest, a tour leader on trips to encounter chimps and gorillas, led wildlife tours from whale watching to walking holidays, carried out research on topics from herpetofauna to ecotourism, and used my seafaring knowledge as a birdwatcher, marine biologist, and diver, to work on a guide to sealife.

With my experienced as a naturalist I can cover a range of topics including seabirds, seals, cetaceans, turtles and sharks, using amazing facts to get everyone on the edge of their seats, and to appreciate the World's natural wonders. I speak with enthusiasm and passion and I have used presentations, workshops, and seminars, to engage and motivate audiences, from business conferences to schools, and conservation groups to travel groups.

As a professional ecologist and environmental consultant I've also been involved with wildlife surveys, habitat management, pond creation, and successful mitigation projects, specialising in birds, reptiles, amphibians and other protected species.
