Edward Giles

Edward Giles has always been excited about anything feathered, living on water and with webbed feet. At the age of thirteen, he was lucky enough to start his own collection of waterfowl at his home in Shropshire. Six years later, after graduating from university, he planned to write a hook to enthuse and encourage others of the same age to start to enjoy wildlife, such as birds, and especially waterfowl. Early on he would seek advice and help from the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) and later, in return, would run marathons in aid of WWT’s various projects.
