I am an 20 year old avid conservationist and nature photographer, which started with a with a huge passion for birding and botany (especially orchids). On top of that, I also have an interest in everything else nature - particularly reptiles, arachnids, and butterflies.

I like to get involved with all things outdoors - joining my local bird club, CREW group, or any other person or group, to satisfy my longing for being outdoors. I think i knew I was obsessed when I was working outdoors collecting ecological data everyday day, and yet would still plan to spend my off time hiking or camping somewhere, trying to find species I haven't seen before.

I am currently studying to get my FGASA qualifications, while working as an avifaunal specialist doing biodiversity surveys.

I showcase some of my findings here on my iNat account, and post my best photos on my Instagram account (@justinjacobin).
