It was my pleasure to have known Kevin since 2004. I wish that I had met him many years before that. He was a business aquaintance inititialy but our shared love of ornithology meant that we often called each other just to discuss that. I have a huge regret now that I never ventured across London from Chiswick to Essex to join Kevin on a brid watching outing. He was a great guy and my colleagues and I at AtoBviaC will miss him enormously.
