I'm Becky, a seabird researcher and conservationist based in East Scotland.
I'm currently undertaking PhD research on Herring & Lesser black-backed gulls, two of the UK's most misunderstood yet threatened seabirds.
I'm passionate about all bird species and enjoy nothing more than a day on the coast searching for wildlife.
I really hope to take you all on this seabirdy journey with me, as I immerse myself in the feathered world of gulls!
