| Introduction | My interest in wildlife began many years ago, when short trousers were in fashion. The first bird’s nest that I found was that of a Song Thrush way back in 1949. Luckily for me during my childhood days, the Orwell estuary was my playground. My most memorable recollection from those early-1950s days, and one that has stayed with me ever since, was when I stood at the water’s edge of Mulberry Middle at low water. I was in awe of the vastness of the scene around me; the natural wilderness feeling was so powerful, and thereafter I was simply hooked on the beauty and the wildlife riches of the estuary and I have savoured that experience on so many occasions. I have also seen some dramatic changes. These days, only on a bleak winter’s day or during the depth of night does the estuary become, once again, a wilderness for its wildlife. These are just some of the reasons why I am passionate about and do all that I can in the world of conservation. |
| Interests | I love Natural History, especially birding, surveying and walking. I am an ‘A’ licensed ringer with the Newton & Wright ringing group. I enjoy being involved in wildlife expeditions and holidaying abroad to see firsthand the wonders of nature – before it all disappears. |
| Favorite movies | I have no spare time to watch films. |
| Favorite music | Wait for it; I love the best music in the world - Country Music in all its forms. |
