Elle Kaye is a taxidermist, birder, conservationist, and nature advocate living in London. She orientates all her endeavours around the natural world. This can be seen through her intimate work with birds as a taxidermist, where she see her work as a contribution to taxonomy, through interviewing scientists on her podcast Specimens, or hosting birding walks for women, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folk to help cultivate a safe and inclusive space in the outdoors for those that historically may not have had access to it.

(WildlifeKate) Kate's work blends technology, education, and a deep love for nature to foster a greater appreciation and understanding of wildlife. She aims to inspire others to connect with the natural world and take an active role in conservation in their part of the world, whether it be a window box or a large garden. Her network of cameras has filmed some incredible scenes, and she shares live stream wildlife cams on feeding stations, dens and nest boxes on her website, to educate and engage all ages with our wonderful British wildlife. Her 30+ years as a primary teacher enabled her to pass on her passion and enthusiasm to a younger generation and this remains fundamental to her work.
