Nick lives in a flint cottage by a duckpond beside the River Wensum in North Norfolk. He grew up nearby, beside the River Stiffkey. In the process of moving three miles between North Norfolk rivers, he spent ten years in South America (largely by the Rivers Piraí, Iténez and Mamoré in Bolivia), four in India (along the Brahmaputra, among many others) and worked with wildlife on every continent.

Having reflected deeply on climate, biodiversity and ecotourism, he has given up flying. He now cycles around North Norfolk and walks along the Wensum; and writes, speaks and teaches about wildlife and conservation, often on behalf of Norfolk Wildlife Trust and Felbeck Trust.
