I was so sorry to hear the sad news about Michael. His work on spotted flycatchers in Cambridgeshire was exemplary and the data he was collecting so important in trying to understand the nature of their worrying decline. In order to collect this data he had to gain the trust of landowners and householders on whose land and in whose gardens the birds nested. The fact that he did this so successfully is a testament to his patience and polite persuasiveness that not only allowed him to gain the access he needed but also embued the residents with an interest and enthusiasm for the birds and who subsequently looked forward to his visits so they could share in his knowledge. A sad, untimely and irreplacable loss. Condolences and very best wishes to Michael's family and friends.
