Gary Elton

Gary is a principal Limosa guide who lives in Norfolk, where he divides his time between guiding for Limosa and working at Holme Bird Observatory, on the North Norfolk coast. A former Herts Bird Club committee member and warden of a local nature reserve in north London (where he lived and birded for over 35 years), he is a qualified ringer with a particular fascination for studying bird migration in the eastern Mediterranean.

In addition to leading most of Limosa’s Norfolk breaks over the past 9 years, Gary's growing repertoire of overseas tours includes Greece, Spain, Iceland and Gambia. He regularly joins our guided BirdWalks in Norfolk and Suffolk, and not infrequently pops up on TV wildlife programmes - having featured on everything from Springwatch to Bill Bailey's Birdwatching Bonanza.

Gary's enthusiasm is infectious and he's hugely popular with all who travel with him.
