Q: Where are you from/what is your occupation?
A: I'm currently a student at Bangor University in Wales, studying Marine Biology and Zoology. In the holidays I'm usually off volunteering somewhere or visiting my hometown of Dover.

Q: Where do you volunteer?
1) I am a qualified marine mammal medic for the BDMLR [link] so I get called out to reported stranded seals/dolphins/whales in my area to assist in their assesment and in first aid.
2) I take part in harbour porpoise surveys for the sea trust [link]
3) I volunteer for Organisation Cetacea [link]
4) I collect data for Gwynedd Council to survey Sharks, Skates, and Rays in North Wales
5) I regularly help out with beach cleans
6) Next semester I shall be helping out with research once a week at Anglesey Sea Zoo [link]

Q: What do you do for fun?
A: I go to Bull Bay every chance I get to sit and watch the porpoises. The cliffs drop off into the sea there so the water is instantly deep, this means the porpoises come very close in to feed and play. In my free time I usually find something random to do around here, usually involving wildlife, and I enjoy helping out with my friend's falconry whenever he is in the country. I often go hill walking in snowdonia national park and up other mountains close to Bangor. I enjoy playing basketball and playing the piano/keyboard/drums when I get the chance. Next semester I am taking up surfing and hope to learn how to kyak and sail as well. But most of all, I love just being with my friends, getting merry in the pub, and having a good boogie with my girls.

Q: Where do you take your photos?
A: I take my camera absolutely everywhere and when there's that perfect shot I'm quick to take advantage of it whether I'm volunteering, helping out a friend, or simply going for a walk or chilling on a beach. Each photo will have details of when/where it was taken and what the subject is.

Q: What camera do you use?
A: I use a Nikon 40D most of the time with the kit lense at the moment. I hope to invest a lot into photography when my skill and knowledge improves. I have a sigma 28-300mm f3.5-6.3 DG macro lens on the way woop woop!

Q: Do you use facebook/myspace/bebo/etc??
A: The only social network website that I use is Facebook, I only accept friend requests from friends so note me if you want my profile link.

Q: What is your neopets username?
A: I am known as oracana on neopets.

Q: What clubs do you belong to on DA?
