Will joined E3 Ecology as a Graduate Ecologist in 2023 after completing a Master’s Degree in Biology at Newcastle University. Whilst completing his degree, Will studied modules for invertebrate and ornithological field identification, biological modelling, wildlife management and species conservation. Will also completed an investigative research project studying the temporal and spatial disruptions of common invertebrate crop pests across arable and semi-natural habitats.
During his time with E3 Will has been involved in many different surveys and projects including daytime bat risk assessment and nocturnal bat surveys, great crested newt eDNA and HSI surveys, otter surveys, ecological appraisals and BNG assessments. He has also developed his skills in botany, habitat mapping and QGIS. Will has extensively used infrared and thermal recording to aid in bat analysis along with software to analyse bat calls to determine species and temporal information.
