MSc Animal Behaviour graduate from University of St. Andrews. Interested in large carnivore ecology, behavioural biology, conservation, human-animal interactions and co-existence. Crazy about canines and felines. Photography enthusiast.
I just returned from a visit to Gir National Park, my favourite place in the world, and the last home of the Asiatic Lion. We were blessed with incredible sightings, and here are a few photos from the trip! I'll likely post more as well as I process and edit the photos!

Proud to announce that late November, I finally graduated with a Master of Science in Animal Behaviour from the University of St Andrew's!

It's been a wild, wild ride, and I look forward to what comes next!

One of my favourite moments amongst Antarctic wildlife was the whales. I may have developed a soft spot for humpbacks after this one incredible trip as part of my studies at St. Andrews!

I was also trained in surveying marine mammals using Cybertracker, a digital survey app that can be customised.

While I'm slowly building up my network here, I wanted to share a bit about my Masters research on bird behaviour and cognition, my first foray into actual research as well!

I studied penguin nest material preference characteristics (ie size and colour) in a zoo environment.

Reposting this as I forgot to add an intro xD

Hi BlueSky!

I'm passionate about wildlife, ecology, behaviour and Apex predators! I have just completed my Master's in Animal Behaviour from the University of St. Andrews, UK.

A photo of me ringing blue tit chicks as my first post!
