Research Activity

Currently I am the head of the GB Non-native species Secretariat. The secretariat is part of the newly set up (2006) mechanism for dealing with non-native species issues in Great Britain. Formerly led teams attempting ruddy duck eradication in the UK (EU LIFE funded) and eradication of American mink in the Western Isles in Scotland (EU LIFE funded). Have also done extensive research on wild boar in England, including risk assessment and researching general ecology and capture methods. Worked on EBLVs in bats in England (with colleagues). Also compiling a database of non-native vertebrates on UK Islands to study distribution patterns and how they relate to island features.
