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.
