Colin Miskelly

Dr Colin Miskelly is an ornithologist with broad interests, including conservation ecology, biogeography, and the history of science.

Employed as Curator Vertebrates at Te Papa since 2010, Colin previously worked for the New Zealand Department of Conservation as a scientist and manager.

His research on snipe and seabirds first took him to the subantarctic region in 1982, and has led to an ongoing interest in these remote islands and their spectacular wildlife.
