Richard’s passion for birds was fired in the bird-rich environments of South Africa where he worked as a game ranger in the 1990’s. From here he made a move to Ecuador where he worked as a nature and bird guide and enjoyed birding the amazingly diverse habitats of the Amazon, cloud forests and the Andes. With his enthusiasm for birds now incurable, Richard embarked on an international bird-guiding career that saw him travel and bird across Africa and further afield. Richard’s favourite destinations include Namibia, Cameroon, Tanzania, Bhutan, Antarctica, and of course Australia.
Richard’s tenure at Inala started in Tasmania in 2013 where he worked as a guide and in operations for three years before he returned to university and obtained on Honours degree in Science. Richard has also worked as an ecologist where he deepened his understanding of the natural world and indulged in his keen interest in botany.
