He was an inspiration to a lot of pupils from Cholsey School to take an interest in the Natural World. Including me.
He would take classes on a "Nature Walk" on a Friday afternoon and point out Birds and Plants to his pupils.
Two books were written by Bill and he also wrote a “Country Diary” weekly column in the Guardian from 1964 to 1994.
Tony Rayner’s book “Wild about Cholsey” has a few of the articles written by Bill for the Guardian.
There is also a book about Bill’s life written by two of his friends.

I have many fond memories of Bill from Portland Bill
ReplyDeleteI remember Mick Rogers saying that Bill could make a Chiffchaff cough when taking it from a net with smoke billowing from his pipe.
