Captivated by birds since he was a small child, Cameron’s love for birds and the natural world was solidified growing up in the town of Hoedspruit, a stones-throw from the famous Kruger National Park, Blyde River Canyon and Mariepskop forest. He has birded widely in every province of South Africa, as well as in parts of Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana.

Cameron has recently finished his Honours at the University of Cape Town working with the Honeyguide Research Project on the remarkable calls used by Greater Honeyguides to lead people to bees’ nests. He also chaired the UCT Birding Club for two years and is still on the committee.
