Dave Raw’s (Chairman of the Durham Upland Bird Study Group) researches have revealed a wonderful discovery in, of all places, his attic. Recalling work done by a range of well known local bird watchers over twenty years ago he thought that this information may have remained with him. Dirty, dusty research is not always into the pages of books and journals, but sometimes actually into the places where these things are. His treasure-trove revealed hand-written texts from amongst others the late Fred Grey, writing on both birds and some of the people who loved and studied them.
