The fine details of flight in seabirds and raptors

My PhD focuses on the the foraging characteristics and flight behaviours of seabirds. Supervised by Dr Lewis Halsey and Dr Andrea Perna. Currently I am in the last year of my PhD at the Center for Research in Ecology at the Department of Life Sciences of University of Roehampton.


Currently, I am investigating the foraging behaviour and possible in-flight communications of the rarely studied Red-tailed Tropicbirds as well as the niche specialisation of two closely related sympatric Booby species in the Caribbean. My work involves attaching GPS and accelerometry loggers to wild birds and working with satellite data.
