Loading...About The Speaker...
I remember lying in the grassy meadow a stones throw from my childhood home, watching a buzzard lazily spiral above me. I had followed its flight path for several of the fields behind me, and was watching it disappear out of view. Birds of prey have captivated me ever since, and I’ve spent most of my life trying to see the world from the perspective of a raptor. Today, 10 years on, I manage The Bird of Prey Project – our mission as a charity is to restore habitats, conserve birds of prey and make wildlife education accessible. From giving a drowning peregrine a new lease of life to re-uniting a lost Little Owl chick to a family living in hay bail – we’ve had a fair few adventures along the way.
Understanding hawks, has helped me to immerse myself in the wildlife systems they depend on.
Whether it’s monitoring wild raptor breeding sites, rehabilitating wild birds of prey, promoting biodiversity or providing the highest standard of ethical care for
the birds in our responsibility – I love what I do, and I love the opportunity I have to make a difference for wildlife.
Our generation is perhaps the first with just the slightest chance of leaving the world in a better condition than we found it. And it’s my mission to be a part of that.
About Their Talks...
It is a great pleasure to share a little of life through the eye of a bird of prey soaring hundreds of feet over head, and giving an insight into how that connection to nature can pave a way forward to reverse biodiversity decline.
Giving the audience a memorable, sometimes humorous, sometimes emotional, yet inspiring talk – is my aim.
