I realise this posting here is not strictly about listing but I was very sad to learn today of the recent passing of D.I.M. Wallace - a true "old school" giant of the British birding fraternity. I was fortunate to see him at the British Birdfair in 2015, recounting a memorable autumn day at his beloved Flamborough Head. His book "Beguiled by Birds" was most instructive and inspirational reading for me.
