A lifelong naturalist who has taken early retirement after a career in wildlife research, nature conservation and ecological consultancy. A thoroughly amphibious ecologist, I began my professional career studying coastal otters and have wide interests in terrestrial, freshwater, marine and aerial environments.
Now that I no longer have to earn a living I am relishing the freedom to wander, wonder and frolic in the meadows of my own curiosity. Sometimes I just sit there quietly. Current interests include ecological restoration, rewilding and upland livestock farming – but I’m easily distracted! Now having to come to terms with Motor Neuron Disease.
