From Robin Cox, CBC President "When spotted flycatchers were found to be breeding in a garden in Meldreth, Michael was soon on the spot with rings and geolocators. Word spread among a small group of villagers who also took more than a passing interest in the birds and were fascinated and educated by Michael; he was never lost for an answer to any of their numerous questions. He had an encyclopaedic knowledge, or should we say BWP knowledge, of birds but especially spotted flycatchers. Thanks to Michael's enthusiasm the village group have "adopted" the flycatchers which they had not hitherto even heard of. They are busy building flycatcher nestboxes and are anxiously waiting for the birds to return but they are mortified that Michael will not be there to share their welcome."
