Welcome to a joint Nat & Dave Hall wildlife page. "Joint", as we fused our love of the natural world together from the start, and both involved in conservation at some stage!!

Learnt all my botany under the watchful eyes of Reinoud Norde (Dutch Botanist then based in Shetland) as well as Paul Harvey and Sarah Fisher. Member of the Shetland Bird Club & The Scottish Centre for Geopoetics. The Natural World flows in my veins!

Dave Hall, friend-musician-photographer, once involved with bird surveys as field biologist on this same latitude; supplier of bird photography for UK Bird Magazines as well as for Birds of Scotland - member of the Shetland Bird Club & avid lover of the Natural world! When birds are not his focus, moths are! The trap is set from the Vernal to the Autumn Equinox...

Our combined love for Mother Earth began some twenty years ago, in a field, in Cambridgeshire, watching a skylark. We settled and travelled around the UK before settling in our Nordic home, Shetland. 

Before that, we watched and loved wildlife in our respective parts of the world - David in Hampshire, and I, in the South-Eastern corner of France!
