In 1989 he began a Seabird Drawing course based at North Berwick which has continued every year since, and he has led courses in Switzerland, Crete, the Falklands, Galapagos and at Nature in Art in Gloucestershire.
He took part in projects with the international Artists for Nature Foundation (ANF) in Holland, Poland, Spain, Ireland, India, Portugal, and Israel, and in SWLA/Forestry Commission projects in the New Forest and the Oakwoods in the west of Scotland.
