Richard Thaxton
Richard is a principal Limosa guide who joined us in the early ‘noughties’ at the urging of our American friends Field Guides - who clearly know a good thing when they see one! Recently retired as warden at the RSPB’s Loch Garten reserve, where he worked for 30 years, Richard was charged with the welfare of some of Speyside's rarest inhabitants, including Capercaillies and the world famous Ospreys.
He is a first-rate guide with exceptional people skills and leads for Limosa in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America. Various sabbaticals during his time with RSPB included extended visits to Brazil and West Africa. In 2011, he spent 4 weeks at REGUA in Brazil, advising on the development of sustainable tourism there - and is now a regular visitor there with Limosa groups!
