Life
He was born in a Derbyshire vicarage which had been occupied by his father and grandfather for almost 50 years,[1] and was a member of the same family as Fletcher Christian.[1] At the age of 18, he began contributing to the Guardian's Miscellany column.[1]
After becoming a full-time freelance writer, he wrote for newspapers and magazines including the Birmingham Post, Birmingham Evening Mail, Nottingham Guardian, The Times, Country Life and New Scientist.[1] From 1950, he was editor of The Plough.[1]
He wrote a number of books on conservation and ornithology,[1][2] one of which, Down the Long Wind, had a jacket illustrated by Peter Scott.[1]
As a school governor, he took the unusual step of becoming an honorary (unpaid) teacher of biology, one afternoon a week.[1]
