I read his books as a child and am collecting the off Amazon etc at the moment. I am trying to find as much information as I can about him as he is a fantastically knowlegeable local naturalist whose work has given me a huge amount of pleasure. Does anyone have any links or clues as to where I might get more information about the great man?

As a young lad I listened to as many Nomad broadcasts as I could and must have read all the books many times. The knowledge, observation and interpretation were the inspiration for me starting a career in science - albeit not in natural history subjects that lasts through to today - almost 60 years later

5 Precepts of Buddhism seem appropriate. Refrain from taking life. Refrain from taking that which is not given. Refrain from misconduct. Refrain from lying. Refrain from intoxicants which lead to loss of mindfulness

Thanks for the replies so far. I can't locate transcripts of the "Down Natures Byeways" anywhere and he does not really feature on the bbc website if I search there either.
He knew the area so well so ifeel he must have left more of a legacy than his books, I just can't find it.
