About

I'm a Naturalist, Conservationist and Birder from the small country of Wales. I started my life as a Birder back when I was 10 with my tiny binoculars and 'British Birds' book, I wouldn't call myself a birder back then, I was just a young girl who loved to watch Red Kites circling above and listening to birds out the garden. The time when I progressed into a keen Birder and Conservationist is when I began to Volunteer for the WWT in Llanelli in 2010. From there I realised that there is more to life than just birds and thus started my love for wildlife in general, especially birds, butterflies and my obsession with Raptors. I currently work for the WWT as a Learning Assistant, I run the Monday Munchkins which is a play-scheme for encouraging pre-school children to be interested in wildlife. I mainly teach schools and lead events such as Bat Walks, Dawn Chorus and Ringing Demonstrations.

I have a T permit for Bird Ringing, and am a member of Gower Ringing Group. My highlight so far that I have had the pleasuring in ringing is definitely European Storm Petrel, Ringing provides a major insight into a bird's life and collects a huge amount of data that can be used for it's scientific value to protect these birds in the future.

Currently writing articles for Wildlife Articles. Mainly conservation, reintroduction and help guides for British wildlife. Link can be found on the right.

Talk for Gower Ornithology Society March 2015: Encouraging young people to the group.
I had the pleasure of giving a talk with a close friend; Emma-Louise Cole to the Gower Ornithology Society on how to encourage young people into the group and creating a way that they can share their experience onto the younger generation.

Educational Events at WWT Llanelli 2014/2015
Part of my job is to lead the educational events at WWT Llanelli, these can range from Bat Walks where we take a group out in search of bats using detectors. Dawn Chorus and High Tide Watch are other events I pay a part in, with my love and knowledge of birders, I love doing these events since it's showing people the wonders of wildlife and how they can appreciate the other things such as identification tips and bird songs.
