I like all wildlife, I'm butterfly recorder for VC95, Moray & Scottish co-ordinator for Garden Moth Scheme. As well as being active in BC Highland Branch, I lead the occasional botany walk for Inverness Botany Group. I do a bit of Pan-species listing too.

Help stop the Planning and Infrastructure Bill tearing up nature protections
