As a professional naturalist, I’m passionate about the natural world. As a keen traveller, I want to share the wealth of wildlife that we have in Europe – others can travel around the world (as I have in the past) but these days, my home continent is more than enough. If you like what I’m doing, please support me on Ko-Fi so I can continue to do more.
