Richard Cowen (Durham Bird Club volunteer) has been interpreting and collating David Simpson’s observations from the Shotton Colliery area, over a period of more than fifty years. From this he has been creating the central text, not to mention the essence, of one of the Birds of Durham Heritage Projects’ on-line resources. The idea is that this will show how one person through time, via systematic observations and commitment, can provide a valuable insight to the bigger picture. Eventually it is hoped that this, driven by David’s sightings, will help form an article called ‘Simpson’s Sightings’.
