Who We Are
Natural Research Ltd is a wildlife research charity
registered in Scotland (SC 030363) whose mission is to conduct objective research to underpin the wise management of wildlife resources. Our researchers are highly regarded by their peers as they have a strong foundation in practical and academic research and publication. Our team is small but dynamic and we have expertise in field and lab based wildlife research, especially with rare and dispersed bird species.

Natural Research is governed by a board of directors, and adheres to the laws governing charities in Scotland.
What We Do
Our high quality national and international research is achieved by undertaking original research and by collaborating with partners. Our main area of expertise is avian ecology and biology, although we are also involved in studies on other taxa, both in the UK and overseas. We use a variety of techniques on our projects, including surveying, ringing, VHF – radio tracking, PIT tags, GPS satellite tracking and molecular DNA profiling. We always aim to produce peer-reviewed publications from our work so that our results can be widely accessible to other researchers and wildlife managers, though we recognise that other products of our research are also important.
