I noted with sadness (via a mention by Mark Carter) that Glenn Holmes has passed away. I knew that he had been ill for some time. Glenn was a great birder, and he often expertly assisted me as a guide in those distant days when I operated bird tours. Since then he has freely given his time to guide our local 'Bellingen Birders' group when we made trips into his area around Stanthorpe. He was a most knowledgeable and observant man. I remember asking him how many birds he had recorded in 24 hours from his base in Atherton. His answer was '254', a record that I imagine would be very hard to equal! My deepest sympathy to Jenny. -- Richard Jordan PO Box 449 Bellingen NSW 2454 02 6655 9456 0428385677 <HR> <BR> Birding-Aus mailing list <BR> <BR> To change settings or unsubscribe visit: <BR> http://birding-aus.org/mailman/listinfo/birding-aus_birding-aus.org </HR> |
