''In the past I have worked with Marine Turtles and the Great Whales. I now work as a staff tour leader for Ornitholidays, a birding tour company based in the UK. I lead a number of the company's 'pelagics' (wildlife cruises aboard boats and ships) because of my deep interest in the birds and other animals of the oceans''
