Ah, Bryan Fitzgerald, a lovely chap. Used to go birding with his mate Alastair Morrison in Alastair's little Suzuki 4WD. Bryan had some great stories from when he was farming, in his younger days, down in the Yaouk Valley.

In the Natural History section I came across a tome entitled "Crazy World of Bird Watching" being cartoons by Peter Rigby.  My interest was first piqued byan inscription "To Fitzgeralds, Ainslie, From Marthga Christmas '87".  I am sure that will ring bells for many of the more venerable members of COG.

The asking price of $4 was looking pretty good for an historic artefact and then I came across the following cartoon.


Note the handwritten inscription.  

If not legible in the image it reads "COG member to Rarities Panel".  Definitely archival material.
