 Mike Madders PhD Mike was professionally involved with raptors and upland bird species all his working life. After working with peregrines in Cumbria he graduated to eagles in Scotland during the early 1980s, where he was instrumental in the successful reintroduction of white-tailed eagles. He lived in a variety of island and mainland locations, undertaking studies for a variety of governmental and non-governmental organizations, including the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), and the University of Glasgow. Mike was particularly associated with studies on the foraging ecology and diet of hen harriers and white-tailed eagles. His 1997 doctorate was on the effects of forestry on harriers. In recent years he specialised in devising field and analytical techniques to measure the responses of birds to windfarm developments, and designing innovative approaches to mitigating the potential impacts. Many of these techniques have been taken up as standard best practice in Environmental Impact Assessments throughout the world. He wrote over 100 EIAs and was called as an expert witness at numerous Public Inquiries. He advised and helped train staff from statutory nature conservation organisations and NGOs on windfarm issues. Click here for Mike's 'windfarm' cv. He continued to study hen harrier behaviour in the UK and supervised studies of pallid and Montagu's harriers in Kazakhstan and India. Mike's other interests included 20th century instrumental music, trees and ferns. Mike was a Director of Natural Research and the Managing Director of its subsidiary, Natural Research Projects. Mike died tragically in a canoeing accident in NW Scotland in August 2009.
 Mike McGrady PhD Mike has worked for over 25 years on projects related to raptor ecology, and has conducted independent research on golden eagles, peregrine and prairie falcons, sparrowhawks, Steller's sea eagle, and griffon, cinereous, and bearded vultures in many countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and Central America. Particular interests include population dynamics and ranging behaviour (including migration), and using new techniques and technologies to conduct better research. He has authored over 40 peer-reviewed articles. Mike's work with Natural Research includes modelling ranging behaviour and assessing likely impacts of development on golden eagles, studying dispersal in golden eagles, demography of peregrine falcons, movement of vultures in central Asia, and sandgrouse in Arabia and training of Middle East oil workers in avian ecology and potential oil production-related impacts. Mike is a Director of Natural Research Projects and the Managing Director of Natural Research. Click here for Mike's CV.
 Phil Whitfield PhD Phil’s professional career with birds started in the early 1980s at Edinburgh and Cambridge Universities researching the behaviour and ecology of wintering and breeding shorebirds (waders) before leaving academia for the Nature Conservancy Council (NCC) to run the Montane Ecology Project, a long-term study of the interactions between birds, invertebrates, vegetation, grazing, recreation and climate in montane Scotland. He joined Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), the government’s advisor on conservation in Scotland, as upland ornithologist, when the NCC devolved to country agencies in 1992, undertaking and commissioning research and providing advice on a wide range of ornithological issues, leaving as senior ornithologist to join Natural Research in 2005. Phil has authored over 50 peer-reviewed papers and numerous reports and articles. His research interests continue to be with shorebirds, with previous projects having been based in Scotland, Finland, Iceland, high arctic Canada, and the north slope of Alaska, working on a number of species including Eurasian dotterel, phalaropes, several calidridine sandpipers and plovers, turnstone and redshank. A later interest in birds of prey began when it became apparent several of his shorebird subjects were being killed by raptors, prompting several studies of the effects of raptor predation on shorebird behaviour and population ecology. Other work has included organising national surveys, supervision of several PhD students, raptor reintroductions, using GIS to study spatial ecology and model ranging behaviour, raptor and shorebird population dynamics, sexual selection, plumage variability, feeding specialisations, effects of habitat loss and incubation behaviour. Most recent work has been on the population ecology and conservation of golden eagles, and on impacts of wind farms on birds and methods for their study. Phil is the Acting Managing Director of Natural Research Projects and Senior Ornithologist for Natural Research. Click here for Phil's CV.

Ged Connelly Ged traces his interest in natural history back to his childhood. In his employment he has always sought jobs that would get him outdoors. So, he started his working life working in forestry. Unlike many on our team that are strapped to computers, Ged is out in the field almost all of the time. His lifelong interest in wildlife has trained him to be a good observer and he has a range of field skills that are difficult to find in biologists nowadays. Because our work depends upon quality field work, Ged is a key link in the chain. When Ged is not looking at widlife through binoculars, he is often doing so through a camera because he is a keen photographer
 Bob Stakim Bob has had a life-long interest in birds, especially of moorland & upland. He has studied hen harrier merlin & peregrine under licence from Scottish Natural Heritage and as a member of the South Scotland Raptor Study Group since 1983. Bob has attended a variety of mountain leadership courses. Prior to joining NRP in 2003, Bob carried out independent bird surveys for various consultancies, including surveying & advising on land restoration & management for birds on Scottish Coal opencast sites. At NRP Bob is a keystone to the high quality field work upon which our consultancy work depends. Bob's hobbies encompass music, including playing the guitar for pleasure, walking & fly fishing. He says he likes a good bottle of wine (a statement to which we can attest) and has recently taken up photography.
 Dave Walker After working for the National Trust on the Farne Islands Dave’s involvement with golden eagles began in Cumbria where he was the RSPB’s senior protection warden during 1979 to 1985, when he also became particularly interested in eagle behaviour. He began to monitor a population of eagles in north Argyll in 1986, has been employed to study eagles in a large portion of the western Highlands, on all of the major Hebridean islands and took part in all three national eagle surveys. Away from golden eagles, he has worked on white tailed eagles, hen harriers, peregrines, merlins and red and black throated divers, amongst others. Dave spent two years as warden of an upland grouse moor/nature reserve where he was involved with habitat management for upland waders, red and black grouse. He also undertook fieldwork for the Sound of Barra and Sound of Harris SPAs. Away from birds he has been monitoring the population dynamics of a red deer herd since the mid 1980s and is actively involved with red squirrel conservation in Cumbria. Dave was a founder member of the Cumbria raptor study group, is a member of the Argyll rsg and, during 1997-2002, was a regional organiser and a member of the steering and methodology committees for the Cumbria breeding bird atlas project. Dave started working with the embryonic NRP on Kintyre in 1997 and he continues to monitor eagle and upland bird ecology both there and elsewhere in Scotland.
 Digger Jackson PhD Digger has a life long interest in all wildlife, especially birds, mammals and fish. Since completing his PhD on breeding waders in 1988 at University of Durham he has led various research projects in Scotland and overseas. He spent 11 years as an RSPB research biologist working on a range of projects including studies on the ecology of black-throated divers, the causes of breeding wader population changes in the Outer Hebrides and the related subject of the impact on birds and the population ecology of hedgehogs introduced to Scottish islands. More recently he has worked overseas, in the Fiji Islands surveying rainforest birds for BirdLife International and studying the endangered Masked Shining Parrot for Wildlife Conservation Society, and helping with wader migration studies in Australia. His work with Natural Research is focused on the ecology and behaviour of breeding divers and how conflicts with human developments can be avoided. His current work includes detailed studies of the flight behaviour of red-throated divers, to develop a predictive spatial flight-path model (along the lines of the PAT model for eagles) that can be used to guide the locating of developments within the breeding range, such as wind farms. Digger is a member of the IUCN Invasive Species Specialist Group and the Wetlands International Diver and Loon Specialist Group. His other interests include photography, travel to wild places and growing things.

 Amanda Biggins Amanda gained a BSc (Hons) in Biology from York University in 1997. She then spent a year with the Scottish Wildlife Trust gaining varied practical experience in Wildlife Surveying on an HNC course. This lead her to a diverse range of work with the RSPB, starting with wardening breeding terns. She progressed into research on many bird species, including capercaillie, lapwings and corn buntings. She spent a total of 3 years working on chough ecology projects in Wales, Scotland and the Isle of Man (for Manx Bird Atlas). Amanda joined Natural Research Projects (Ltd) in October 2008, as a field ecologist, and is now also project manager for several sites. She is also working on analysing the results of a capercaillie disturbance project, when she's not sitting out on a hill. She attributes her love of natural history to her introduction to the concept of hobbies at the age of 4. Her brother stated that his hobby was birdwatching, and she just had to copy (he now works as a software engineer). As well as birds she is also interested in moths (and studied them for her dissertation), cetaceans and edible plants. Having moved back to Scotland, she has developed greater enthusiasm for birding trips abroad, especially hot dry climates like deserts. Amanda is an active ringer with Grampian and Highland Ringing groups. She has finally applied for her full license (C Permit), and is hoping to start a colour-ringing project soon. Other interests include playing the piano and tin whistle, darts, horse riding and she has begun growing her own vegetables.

 Ruth Mitchell PhD Ruth has had a life long interest in natural history which developed into a botanical research career assessing the impacts of human pressures (eg pollution and over-grazing) on plants and methods to restore degraded habitats. Ruth’s PhD on studied changes in vegetation and soil nutrients following invasion of the heathland by trees and methods to restore heathland. She then worked for the RSPB for two years as a reserves ecologist before moving to Scotland where she worked for the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. Here she specialized in assessing the impact of pressures (pollution, climate change, land-use and grazing) on biodiversity, particularly lower and higher plants, and developing techniques for promoting ecosystem recovery from these impacts. Her research has encompassed the impact of nitrogen deposition on heather-dominated moorland and on epiphytic lichens and bryophytes in Atlantic oakwoods. She has worked on over-grazing issues in both moorland and Atlantic oakwoods and on the impact of increased fire frequency due to climate change in the Mediterranean. Ruth has a long-standing interest in successional processes, and led research that tests the cascading effects of single successional species on vegetation, soil chemistry, ecosystem processes and soil fauna. Her research also covers ecosystem restoration, and she has studied the re-establishment of heathland and moorlands (both soils and vegetation) following scrub invasion or over-grazing, the restoration of Atlantic Oakwoods and the recovery of epiphytes following a reduction in nitrogen pollution. Ruth joined NRP in March 2009 as a senior research ecologist. When not working Ruth enjoys hill walking, reading and craft work as well as botanizing and birding.

 Iain Mackenzie Iain studied Biological Sciences at Napier University, then Zoology at the University of Glasgow before completing a Masters in Applied Ecology and Conservation at the University of East Anglia. Prior to that he flirted with a career in engineering before, among other things, training in Biological Surveying with the Scottish Wildlife Trust, analysing the contents of polecat intestines for the National Museum of Scotland, working as a zoo-keeper in Edinburgh Zoo and helping to produce an environmentally- themed radio show in Glasgow. For three years Iain was responsible for the day-to-day management of the Uist Wader Project, a partnership between Scottish Natural Heritage, RSPB Scotland and the Scottish Executive, which tested ways of reducing the conservation threat to breeding waders from non-native hedgehogs. Iain then worked with RSPB Scotland for five years where he carried out and coordinated surveys of upland bird populations in Tayside, in particular black grouse and ground-nesting raptors, and provided conservation management advice to land managers in the uplands. While with RSPB Scotland, Iain also coordinated the production of a bid to the EU LIFE+ programme to fund a conservation management project on Scotland’s machair habitat. Iain grew up on North Uist in the Western Isles and spent a feral childhood surrounded by (and sometimes up to his neck in) its fabulous natural history. Iain joined NRP as a field ecologist in March 2009.
 Neil Gartshore With an interest in birds from an early age, Neil began working in the conservation field in 1983. Three seasons on the Farne Islands were followed by a 2-year research assistant post based at the University of Cape Town (South Africa). This post included 14-months on the Sub-Antarctic Prince Edward Islands collecting data and observations on giant petrels, skuas and gulls. In 1991, after RSPB contracts on Coquet Island, Mawddach Valley and Minsmere, he moved to the Dorset heathlands at Arne where he progressed to the post of senior warden before taking on a wider Dorset management role in 2005. By 2006, as well as wanting to develop other interests, (including a business to provide out of print natural history books and a wildlife guiding company in Dorset and beyond), he decided it was time to get out from behind the desk and back in to the field. Working as a freelance ecologist he has, amongst other things, been involved with a number of bird surveys around the Poole Harbour area, has written a number of Environmental Stewardship grant applications and has carried out visitor surveys on a variety of green space sites. Neil joined NRP in March 2009 as a field ecologist.
 Duncan Cameron Duncan’s love of natural history started at a very young age, kindled by accompanying his father rough shooting, ferreting and sea fishing on the Isle of Arran. Fascinated by birds, Duncan attended ornithological night classes at the age of 12, tutored by the late Donald Watson (renowned wildlife artist and ornithologist) in 1968. His first bird survey was in 1972 for The Atlas of Breeding Birds in Britain and Ireland at the age of 16. He continued his love of the outdoors as a Royal Marine Commando for nine years (!). After spending a period in retail management, Duncan returned to conservation, undertaking surveys on woodland grant schemes. Black grouse work included monitoring and finding lek sites and monitoring deer fences for bird strikes. He also became involved with golden eagle protection watches. Further survey work came through working for the Woodland Trust Scotland and the RSPB in the new Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Working full time for 9 years with the RSPB, Duncan was warden at Inversnaid reserve and red kite officer in Central Scotland, where radio tracking and individual kite survival monitoring demonstrated how persecution was adversely affecting the population growth of the red kites in Central Scotland. He has also worked on tree sparrows, pied flycatchers, capercaillie and raptors. Mammal surveys include feral goat, red fox and red deer. He enjoys “busman’s” holidays abroad with his wife and recalls on the first day of honeymoon in Goa it was a 04.30 start to go birding! In Fuerteventura, the party rose at 4.00 am to view the Houbara bustard, which did not appear until 9.00 am. Amazingly, Duncan is still married! He enjoys gardening and tries cooking and DIY around the house. Duncan joined NRP in March 2009 as a field ecologist.
Hollie Cornforth Hollie graduated from Stirling University in June 2009 with a BSc in Environmental Science. She joined NRP as a data assistant in July 2009 and is based at the Brathens office, where she deals with inputting all the data collected by the fieldworkers each month and scanning field work sheets and maps. She is also responsible for data checking and is involved with upgrading the data entry system. Hollie has an interest in landscape history and in her spare time enjoys walking in the Cairngorms.
 Shelley Barbour Shelley’s interest in animals (especially mustelids) led her to an undergraduate degree in Zoology at Aberdeen University. She graduated in 2005 and went on to work as a countryside ranger for the National Trust for Scotland based at Crathes Castle, where she developed her skills in biological surveying and developed an interest in bats. She is currently a bat worker trainee for Scottish Natural Heritage and a member of Northeast Bat Group. Following her time as a ranger, her interest for mustelids led her on to a research project on the ecology of pine martens in Invernesshire where she radio-tracked martens and carried out scat and habitat surveys. In 2007 Shelley joined the RSPB as a reserve assistant at Strathbeg nature reserve and spent many a happy day counting geese! Here she also carried out wetland bird surveys, farmland bird surveys and practical habitat management. Continuing with the RSPB in 2008 she was a fieldworker for the National Merlin Survey covering areas in Perthshire and on the West coast of Scotland. Shelley then returned to Aberdeen University to do a Masters degree in Ecology. After completing a research project using GPS data and GIS to investigate the grazing and habitat preferences of sheep and deer with implications for heath land conservation managemen,t she graduated with commendation in 2009. Shelley joined NRP in August 2009 as GIS officer. Outside of work, Shelley enjoys walking and rock climbing and has recently started wood carving and learning bushcraft skills.
 Simon Hulka Simon has been involved in bird survey work for the last 20 years. Since 1994 he has principally worked on surveys of upland bird populations in Scotland. For Natural Research, he has spent most of his time since 2002 studying red-and black-throated diver breeding and foraging behaviour as part of the Natural Research Diver Project. Simon is currently a PhD research student at Glasgow University, studying red-throated diver breeding biology, sponsored by Natural Research.
 Julien Terraube Julien is currently working on his PhD on the behavioural ecology, migratory strategies and population dynamics of two sympatric raptor species breeding in north Kazakhstan: the Pallid and Montagu’s harriers. Previous work involved participation in different research projects linked with bird ecology including the effects of steppe fragmentation on Pin-tailed sandgrouse population dynamics, and the seasonal sex-ratio variations in a Black-headed gull population. His long-term interest in raptor ecology has involved him in a number of annual surveys of large raptors (principally Bonelli’s eagle) surveys in southern France. Julien's current research interests include avian behavioural ecology, population dynamics and their implications in conserving bird biodiversity. Julien is currently based at the University of Castilla-la-Mancha, Ciudad Real, in Spain.
 Ewan Weston Ewan graduated with first class honours in Zoology from Aberdeen in 2006.
