Wildlife guides

I have edited and proof-read a wide range of wildlife books for Bloomsbury and Pelagic Publishing, including the critically acclaimed Wild Mull, TV presenter Mark Carwardine's field guide to the world's cetaceans, field guides to rockpool invertebrates, East African snakes and South American birds.

Wildlife magazine

Since 2016, I have been Senior Editor of Neotropical Birding magazine, the only magazine dedicated to birds and birding in Central & South America. I was previously editor of the magazine in 2006-10. To read sample articles from Neotropical Birding, click here.  To subscribe, simply join the Neotropical Bird Club, a small but perfectly formed charity dedicated to the research, conservation and enjoyment of the birds of Central America, South America and the Caribbean.
