Georgia Platt

Georgia is an accomplished and motivated ecologist with a broad range of skills, with experience in ornithology, ecology and conservation in the Highlands and Islands since 2018.

Having started her ornithology career by managing a small nature reserve in the Ecuadorian cloud forest for several months, Georgia then worked as Ranger and then Assistant Warden at the world-renowned Fair Isle Bird Observatory for four seasons, which enabled her to become proficient in an array of bird survey methodology and identification of common, scarce and rare species to the UK. Working on Fair Isle also allowed her to work with the island’s vast and varied seabird colonies, carrying out both observational and practical survey work.

Georgia is also an experienced bird ringer and has held a BTO C permit since 2022. In addition, she is a member of both the Highland Ringing Group and the Highland Records Committee.

Georgia has now been with Redwing since March 2024. Although her main area of expertise is ornithology, she is currently working towards building knowledge and experience in habitat surveys and looking to gain experience in bat emergence surveys. As Senior Ecologist, her additional responsibilities along with survey work include coordinating and supporting the use of QGIS within the company, report writing, tendering for contracts and project management.
