I'm running the Edinburgh Marathon on 28th May to raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK, a cause that is close to my heart. I have seen the struggles that my nana (grandad) faced living with Alzheimer's and I know how difficult it can be for sufferers and their families. (1/4)

Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes! 🤯 Even for me as a nest researcher, these are the craziest bird nests I've ever seen. Today my paper came out on this rebellious behaviour. And it's like telling a joke...

Always a great time with RunSoc! We arrived at Tower Bridge just in time to see it open. Had to weave through through the rush of people when the road finally opened

Some shots from Tuesday mornings recovery run along the canals of Manchester. I needed to get out and loosen up my legs following the marathon. My deep leg massages worked wonders, I felt great after! Maybe I’m in the wrong industry 😆🤔
