He has also spent four years in Asia and has worked with wildlife on every continent and ocean. Nick is an ambassador for Norfolk Wildlife Trust, a trustee of Pensthorpe Conservation Trust (which headstarts curlews and leads the reintroduction of the corncrake in East Anglia) and a patron of Felbeck Trust. For his book The Meaning of Geese, he cycled 1,200 miles on his mother's 40-year-old bicycle, following the lives of the wild geese which visit Norfolk each winter. From his flint cottage by a village duckpond he gazes at the sky, watches the birds that pass, swims in rivers and the sea, and walks far and wide across the countryside.
