Norfolk in Spring

Kevin was a full time GP in north Norfolk for 30 years. He has had a lifelong interest in birds and has a broad interest in many other aspects of natural history. He is a life member of the British Dragonfly Society. He has travelled extensively in the UK and Europe as part of his hobby and has also visited all the continents in search of wildlife. He has been a Naturetrek guide since 2003 and he has led Naturetrek trips to the Arctic (Svalbard), Africa (Kenya), the Gambia, Costa Rica, and several European destinations. An experienced and award-winning wildlife photographer, he is on the Nature Group committee of the prestigious Royal Photographic Society (RPS), and has a Fellowship from the RPS in Nature photography. He sits on the Nature Panel of the RPS and judges wildlife images from applicants around the world who apply for a distinction in wildlife photography with the RPS. He is always willing to share his photographic skills with Naturetrek clients, on the tours that he leads. Kevin has a Master's degree in Wildlife Biology and Conservation in addition to a BSc in Natural Sciences with Earth Sciences. This has enhanced his knowledge of conservation issues, including ecology, as well as other related subjects, such as oceanography, geology and evolution. He has a particular interest in the wildlife and environments of the Arctic and Antarctic regions and also tropical rainforests. He has his own website, which displays many of his favourite images.

Brian was a teacher for 12 years and lives in Suffolk with his wife. He has guided tours since 2000, leading over 100 tours to 30 countries, including Malaysia, Argentina, Brazil, Italy, Georgia and New Mexico. He has a special affinity with the birds and butterflies of Switzerland (walking on the glaciers with his dad from the age of 7) and Cape May on the New Jersey coast.

He is also a talented bird artist - examples of his work can be seen in the acclaimed Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW), and the Helm Field Guide Birds of Madagascar and the Indian Ocean - and his current projects include work on two major new guides: the Birds of Southern Brazil and the Birds of Greater Southern Africa.

In his spare time at home, he concentrates on working his local patch at Southwold, Walberswick and the Blyth estuary on the Suffolk coast, searching especially for migrants and gulls.
