ABOUT DAVE...

   I am a professional freelance birdwatching and wildlife guide living in Nethybridge  in the Scottish Highlands. I have been interested in nature and wildlife for as long as I can remember, encouraged by my parents from the beginning and by many others along the way. For example, at the age of 14 I was sponsored by the Wharfedale Naturalists Society for a trip to Shetland and Fair Isle... the beginning of my travels! After finishing Art College I returned to Shetland to work as a summer warden for the RSPB. This led to other conservation contracts in the Highlands and islands, for example, RSPB Species Protection Officer working with birds of prey such as Golden Eagle, Osprey and Peregrine and other rare breeding species. It was this that brought me to Speyside in 1983 where I have been based ever since.

   I've travelled extensively around the world searching for birds, whales, dolphins and other wildlife. A keen fieldworker, I have instigated expeditions to Morocco (to locate the wintering grounds of Dotterel breeding in the Cairngorm area) and Paraguay (looking for Red Data species, and co-finding the second ever recorded nest of Helmeted Woodpecker).  Closer to home I identified the first ever Short-billed Dowitcher in Britain, and found the first Stellers Eider in Britain for 16 years (at Hopeman in November 2000).

 

ABOUT GUIDING...

   With over 12 years extensive guiding experience on 6 Continents, from the arctic to the equator to Antarctica, I specialise in tailor-made trips in Scotland and abroad. This could be anything from a day in Speyside to a month in Namibia. All abilities are catered for, whether beginner, expert or somewhere in between.
