I am a naturalist & conservationist, and the founder of Earthwise Aware (EwA), a wildlife & nature conservation organization.
EwA cultivates eco-literacy, and an informed & responsible form of environmental engagement —one that makes a difference in a World which needs that we redefine our relationship with Nature.
Specifically EwA bridges knowledge and ethics gaps between Wildlife and outdoors enthusiasts, conservation experts, ecological researchers and volunteers, animal welfare scientists, and Nature. We make the work of scientists and conservationists accessible & actionable. We inform, we guide, we coach. We enable individual, organizational and societal changes.
EwA's impact is that through our work such as developing guides, etiquettes and programs for engagement of the public and professionals with Nature habitats and wildlife, we foster an enduring attitude of ecological respect and belonging.
As for birds, I started birding in 2005 and never stopped since... And I never miss the opportunity wherever I may be to check the birds of the location I am in.
Now retired, I have become an avid bird photographer and birder.
A lifelong birder who still has a pretty pathetic British List. Determined to get out more in 2012

Started birding again in the early nineties after been interested in bird watching from junior school.
I also make Tern rafts and all types of bird boxes especially Owl boxes.
Write about my adventures at home and abroad on my blog Greenpecker.blogspot.com just to say I'm no photographer.
Started birding in 1979 when I was 11 years old after winning a free subscription to the YOC after winning a Blue Peter Garden birds competition.
I then learned to escape into the fields to avoid the bullies and found I more birds.
In 1987 I became unemployed and started Birding seriously. In 1989 I had my first scope for my 21st Birthday. In this year I was introduced to the Lowestoft Birders who showed me a Long-eared Owl. I never recovered from being Bullied and find it hard to make friends so still prefer Birding on my own. I now just work my local 10km square trying to beat my year list annually.
I have been birding all my life.
