Question everything in nature. Question why things are the way they are. When I’m in nature I’m inspired to learn more.
“I was a naturalist since I could move. I remember camping with my grandparents in the New Forest and seeing the red deer. I loved beach walks too. My family still tease me to this day about how when I was younger I thought a dead seas gull was a penguin.
I really enjoy watching and learning about animal behaviour. I like to figure out how things work or why they behaved that way. Was it an environmental or chemical stimuli. Working on Springwatch means that I get to see novel behaviour first hand.
Question everything in nature. Question why things are the way they are. When I’m in nature I’m inspired to learn more. I love my job because I want to share what inspires me with others, so they can see it how I see it. As a story teller I get to show this behaviour to millions of people.
I also find nature to be cathartic, if I’m ever stressed or had a tough day I want to get outside and listen to the sounds of nature.”
