| Introduction | I am a nature conservationist, formerly employed by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee in Aberdeen, Scotland. I recently left to join a private company - HiDef Aerial Surveying Ltd - which specialises in ultra high-resolution video surveys of birds, marine mammals and anything else it is possible to detect from the air. I enjoy birding, and my local patch is centred around the village of Old Portlethen, where I live. I sometimes stray as far as the villages of Findon and Downies. My best find is undoubtedly a humpback whale that swam close inshore past the village at 9 a.m. on 1st January 2011. I don't pretend I was sober at that time of the morning, but there were other sightings of humpbacks nearby on the same day and on subsequent days. Best bird was a fly-by white-billed diver. I am a recent convert to skiing, and I enjoy visiting Glen Shee. Recent ski holidays have been to Gressoney, Heavenly, Crans-Montana-Aminona, Sunshine and Lake Louise. |
