A bearded & bespectacled bird surveyor sits staring across Christchurch Harbour, wearing numerous layers and set against a backdrop of gorse, grassland, and distant estuary.
After 25 years employment in the environment & education sector, today is my 1st day working as a freelance ecologist, facilitator, & educator! I'm really excited at the start of this new journey - please do drop me a line if you have any bird survey, facilitation, or environmental education needs.
