Background

Most of my work involves fieldwork, mainly looking at issues relating to farmland birds. My most recent project was looking at the benefit of rye grass setting seed as a winter food source for buntings.

In 2016 I worked on the RSPB Curlew Project, looking at potential benefits of habitat management and predator control. 

Additional pieces of work include seabird tracking using GPS tags fixed with Tessa tape, and remote download GPS tags on curlew & Arctic terns.
