Phil is Managing Director of Natural Research Ltd. Natural Research is a charity devoted to encouraging and undertaking wildlife research, mostly on raptors in Scotland. This research includes supporting and working with universities and PhD students, statutory conservation agencies and independent researchers, as well as internally generated projects. Phil works with several collaborators, notably his long-term friend and invaluable colleague, Alan Fielding, together with other researchers and field experts. The premise being that research is improved when it is team-based with each contributor providing their complementary knowledge, expertise, and experience. Reporting on the results of GPS-telemetry of Golden Eagles is our current theme, from reactions to wind farms to features of natal dispersal and territoriality.
