When most people hear the word 'evolution' we think of Charles Darwin, finches or something that occurred millions of years ago. But evolution is one of nature's most incredible superpowers - evolution is triggered by change - and todays world is changing faster and moving quicker than ever before.
Evolution is happening right around us and right in front of us. Birds of prey are one of the modern day experts in evolution - from the Peregrine hunting by streetlights, to the kestrel nesting in a planter or the Sparrowhawk haunting the suburban network.
Take a step back, and a glance upward, to see a whole new world of modern avian biology.

Striving for sustainability and making room for wildlife through connecting with birds of prey. Inspire a change.
I began working with birds of prey at 15 years old, which led to my career today, where I manage a multi-award winning bird of prey conservation centre and registered charity in the South West. Birds of prey sit at the peak of many of our native food chains, and resultingly are vital regulators for the biodiversity and health of our British ecosystems.
Both boots-on-the-ground conservation and education are essential when it comes to our collective mission for sustainability. From active rehabilitation, wild raptor monitoring or chemical research to understanding biodiversity and inspiring a change through the trusting relationships I form with our hawks.
