Jude Dinham-price

Jude is a confident and adaptable ecologist with an extensive knowledge and passion for upland ecology. Prior to working with Redwing Ecological Surveys, he spent several years working and volunteering on Dartmoor and throughout the lowlands of Devon and Dorset. This ranged from monitoring the isolated assemblage of upland passerines and waders here, to helping advise on conservation grazing to regenerate dwarf shrub heath and surveys of invertebrates on lowland heathland SSIs. Whilst being in the southwest he also obtained a degree in Conservation Biology with a professional placement in Scotland. Due to his extensive field experience and skills in species identification and ecology he undertakes a range of work within the company including NVC and GWDTE, habitat condition assessments, ornithological surveys and protected species surveys.

Alongside this, Jude continues to be an active volunteer in the Scottish Highlands. Here he has helped contribute to snow bunting and dotterel surveys with the RSPB and is an active member of the Highland Raptor Study Group and Highland Ringing Group.  Aswell as this he is also being a prominent recorder for the Longhorn beetle recording scheme where he is currently monitoring a sensitive population of nationally rare cerambycid.
