His research interests span Ornithology and Anthropology, particularly Ethno-ornithology, which explores the relationship between humans and birds within the context of nature conservation. His work includes long-term studies on woodland bird ecology, such as the Wytham Great Tit population, and has contributed to environmental monitoring and conservation. Since 2013, he has focused on ethno-ornithology, examining the cultural significance of birds in human societies. He co-edited the book 'Ethno-ornithology: Birds, Indigenous Peoples, Culture and Society' and developed the Ethno-ornithology World Atlas (EWA) with funding from the Arts & Humanities Research Council.
