Chris Mead Dies


The BTO announced the following press release today. Chris Mead was well known to birders in Britain and also around the world on the internet as he was a regular contributor to UKBN newsgroup

Chris Mead

1940-2003


It is with great sadness that we must announce the sudden death of Chris Mead, who died quietly in his sleep last night (15/16 January). For many people, the name of Chris Mead has been synonymous with the BTO and he was still providing help and advice up until yesterday evening. His services to the Trust and his knowledge of migration in particular will be sorely missed. An appreciation of his contribution to the world of ornithology will appear in the January/February issue of BTO News and on the web site.
