KatTai
My name is Katherine (Kat for short), I'm 25 and I live in Angus,
Scotland though I'm originally from Stockton-On-Tees. I've been into
birds (and other wildlife) for as long as I can remember. When I was
little(r) I remember going out near to where Salthome nature reserve
now is watching great crested grebes doing their mating dance with bits
of weed. Though I visited Salthome early in its development, I moved
up to Scotland not long afterwards and I would love to go back to see
what the area looks like now! Hopefully I'll get the chance sometime
next year!
While I enjoy birds, I'm into all other kinds of wildlife as well.
I collect fossil shark teeth and spines and have over 60 examples in my
collection dating from the more than 300 million years ago to just a
few million years old!
I have a pet dog who accompanies me on my walks whether long or
short, she's always ready to come along. She's pretty good at finding
deer in the fields and I can always tell when she has picked up the
scent of a deer on the wind. I also have a corn snake called Silver, 3
sand geckos (Ricki, Sahara and Phoenix) and 2 mourning geckos (Skye and
Cumbrae), with more mourning geckos probably on the way.... They don't
come out for a walk obviously!
I have volunteered for the RSPB for over a year now at Loch of
Kinnordy reserve, for the bird friendly schools, volunteer and farmer
allience, at events and hopefully I'll soon be getting more involved in
community talks too! And I have a job on top of all that!
