The Team: Graham Rebecca


Worked for RSPB since 1987, mainly on moorland raptors e.g. Merlin in Grampian & Tayside (Ph. D. in breeding ecology, sponsored by RSPB) and Hen Harrier in Grampian & Tayside and Orkney, and Ring Ouzel in Grampian. Current role as Conservation Officer for north-east Scotland, working from regional office in Aberdeen, and live on the outskirts of city. First sabbatical was also with colleagues from RSPB, and members of Tay and Grampian ringing groups. We surveyed, counted, caught and ringed Ring Ouzels in the High Atlas mountains in Morocco. I am really looking forward to my third visit to an Arab country and hope our work will aid the conservation of the Sociable Lapwing. Also looking forward to Martin giving me some great results from his laptop.

Age = 50 something, difficult remembering exact, but still remember Aberdeen 2, Real Madrid 1, European Cup Winners Cup Final 1983, ya beauty!!
