Old friends, and hopefully new ones, will be
interested to know that a typed illustrated
tome of his book, in two large filers, title
above, with a foreword by Geoff Pyman, Esq.,
M.B.E., is now available for perusal at the new
County Library, Market Road, Chelmsford, and
there is an identical set in the library of the
Essex Naturalists' Trust Fingringhoe Wick
Nature Reserve, near Colchester.
The "Elsewhere" section of the work includes
the author's diaries kept during his four years
spent in the Sinai Desert in Palestine (that
was) and observations made on field meetings
with the E.N.T. and Essex Birdwatching and
Preservation Society in Essex and East Anglia,
etc.
