TALKS & EVENTS


Picture
Since the publication of Rebirding in April 2019, whilst being neither remotely important nor famous, I have so far been invited to participate in over ninety talks, panels and other events - from Birdfair 2019 and the Grant Arms Wildlife Book Festival to giving university talks at UWE and Cambridge.  As of early 2020, I am now receiving several invites for talks per week; many of them booking up to a year in advance.  

Whilst I earnestly wish to attend as many as I can, I also work a 9am to 6pm working week and work as an author and consultant, whilst attempting a normal life.  I will do my best to accommodate larger events, those with a strong conservation message, and particularly those involving young people.  I can and often do make exceptions but generally charge £100 for 45 minutes or £150 for a full two-hour illustrated talk.
