It’s always such a pleasure to interview people and find out what drives them. This week On the Sofa with Rouge the conversation is about birds, bats caves and ornithology.

Dr. Stewart Finlayson is a Gibraltar-based naturalist, evolutionary biologist, and wildlife photographer with a Ph.D. in Life Sciences. Passionate about ornithology, bats, and caves, he has published extensively on Gibraltar’s natural history and recently co-authored a book on Gibraltar’s geography.

School wasn’t the right fit for him, and the system didn’t work in his favor, but through college, he completed his A-levels and got involved in youth and community work. Discovering that he had ADHD and dyslexia helped him better understand himself and ultimately thrive in the sciences.

Now a key figure in Gibraltar’s conservation efforts, Dr. Finlayson offers a fascinating insight into the wildlife and landscapes of this unique region.
