Carefully vetted by Boon
I have spent my life watching wildlife from studying peregrine falcons to guiding people of all ages through woods, wetlands and valleys. I am a naturalist, author and long-time birder, and my favourite thing is helping someone notice a bird or animal they would never have spotted alone. I keep things friendly, clear and unhurried, whatever your level.
Finding the wildlife people miss, and making birdsong and fieldcraft easy for anyone to enjoy.
Twenty-eight years of wildlife research and guiding, including long-term study of peregrine falcons and work with leading conservation organisations, museums and universities. I lead dawn chorus walks, wild boar and deer safaris and birdsong courses across the Forest of Dean, Wye Valley and Cotswolds. Every outing is private and tailored, from a gentle hour to a half day, shaped around what you would most like to see.
Comfortable walking shoes or boots and clothing for the weather. I adapt everything to suit the group.
Binoculars, field guides and decades of fieldcraft. I shape the route and pace around your group.
