As a boy, Des Thompson first encountered the Eurasian Golden Plover whilst bird-watching in the wet, desolate wilds of northern Scotland with his father, the late Desmond Nethersole-Thompson. He went on to take his PhD at Nottingham University on the winter ecology and flocking behaviour of gulls and plovers. His particular interests are in mountain and moorland ecology and conservation. He is the Principal Adviser on the uplands in Scottish Natural Heritage, and is a Visiting Professor in Environmental Science at Manchester Metropolitan University.
