A curious scene from Shetland in the summer. These Shags were foraging just off the beach with very strong light reflecting off the water.

Im very glad to see our study on Arctic Skuas has just been published - it's all about the global conservation status (with population estimates for all countries) of these iconic seabirds, which we are losing at an alarming rate in the UK. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

📉 Our new paper shows Bewick’s Swan numbers in NW/NE Europe have fallen to ~12,900 birds - a 56.7% decline since 1995, with further losses predicted by 2026 unless survival or breeding success improves. Flyway-wide conservation is urgent. 📷 Read paper > shorturl.at/IV6eT

The most fiddly ceramics I have done so far, but I'm very pleased with how the little seabirds earrings have turned out! 🐧

I had a wonderful market last weekend in Aberdeen. All my sculpted mugs and plates found new homes, but I still have some sgraffito mugs and little ceramic birds, now listed on my website :)

It has been very exciting seeing my drawings come to live in stitch. I'm particularly happy with how the storm petrel design has come out!🦤

Can't believe it has been 3 years since I made these - I’m finally doing another run of these birdy sweaters! 🪶 If you missed them last time, now’s your chance :)

After dreaming about it for a long time, I have made two embroidered sweater designs! As everything I make, they are birdy - sanderlings and storm petrels 🦤 They are currently available for pre-order if anyone would like one :)

When you can't find embroidered sweaters with your favourite birds, so you decide to make your own 🐧

Remember the birdy sweaters I designed three years ago? They are back! I have come up with some new designs including guillemots, razorbills, curlews and even an emperor moth 🦋

Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Donmouth last night! A wader I'd been wanting to see for so long, and what better place to find it than at the local patch.

The sgraffito mugs take the longest to carve, inspired by my love for the three auks I've had the privilege to study - Puffins, Guillemots, and Razorbills!

Making sgraffito pieces is slow, messy, and tedious but totally worth it when they come out of the kiln and the slips and glazes have done their job 😊

I originally decided to make one of my little seabirds because I wanted one for myself, but I quickly fell in love with making them. Because each one is hand sculpted and painted, every piece is unique in its own little way, yet together they make lovely flocks.

I have been trying to make time for pottery alongside my PhD. I did my first official market last weekend at the Bowhouse. I was very nervous before but it was so lovely to speak to so many people about my work! I have added a few leftover pieces to my new website 🐧
