On behalf of the Wicken Fen Ringing Group we convey sincere condolences to Sue
and family. Michael was a key member of the Group from its early years, making
a significant contribution to the scientific knowledge of the birds of Wicken
Fen. His primary focus was the reed bed habitat, monitoring breeding
populations of Reed and Sedge Warblers, recording the establishment and
ongoing success of Cetti’s Warblers and targeting his beloved Cuckoos. He
established the first BTO Constant Effort Site (CES) for Wicken Fen at the Reed
Bed, where many trainee ringers developed their skills under his expert eye
and experienced advice. He will be greatly missed by us all.
