About me:
I have been studying natural history for some thirty years, seventeen in a professional capacity. I currently work in Sussex as the Senior Ecologist for Sussex Wildlife Trust where I advise on the management of reserves based upon the results of the ecological surveys I carry out. I run a number of identification courses and I also do freelance ecological consultancy, particualrly entomology. I am the county recorder for Heteroptera and spiders. My main areas of interest are birds, plants and invertebrates and a lot of my spare time is spent in the field. I don't look like a birdwatcher.
