Luke has had a keen interest in UK wildlife from a young age. Started off birdwatching and engaging with the British Trust of Ornithology, taking part in voluntary work on Bardsey Island aiding in ringing Manx Shearwater and doing daily bird surveys during the yearly Young Birder’s weeks. Around this time his passion for entomology and arachnology grew and starter to contribute to the islands arachnological records. Originally from the Wirral he also grew a fondness for brownfield sites! Where a Pan-list for his local reserve, Bidston Moss began. Over the years his passion for arachnids grew stronger as well as for macro photography, documenting and photographing every arachnid he could find. Now a student at Edge Hill University, studying Ecology and Conservation he aims to develop these entomological skills further with a primary focus on arachnology.
