Wildlife | James Parry

James has been fascinated by wildlife since he was a boy and has written on all aspects of the natural world for a range of publications. He travels several weeks each year in search of wildlife, from the Andes of Ecuador and the savannah of East Africa to the teak forests of central India and the traditional farming landscapes of the Balkans. He enjoys discovering all types of wildlife and plants but, if pushed, would probably admit to getting most excited about birds and butterflies.

He also leads overseas tours, most recently to Macedonia in the summers of 2014, 2015 and 2016 (click here to see the wildlife report from that last trip), and to northern Greece in February 2017.
