Seeping with scientific data, this book gives a thorough introduction to the evolution and background of communication, mainly in birds but also in mammals. What makes a song effective, what a guttural growl really means, how the flapping of wings came to convey more than “I’m about to fly away”. Interesting for both scientists and […]

Easy to follow yet imbibed with scientifica data, facts and curiosities, it was surprisingly relaxing to read. I brushed up on my myrmecology and learnt astonishing new facts. There are a series of photos and […]

I am a Naturalist and an Ethologist, a painter, an amateur photographer, a harpist, a reader, a writer and currently and English teacher. I love many things (can you love too much?) but some of my favourite things are the fruit of the Morus alba tree, “Life of Pi“, carnivores, tortoises, watercolour, cappelletti, stones and nudibranchs.
I also have a more personal blog. You can find it here.
