John Marsden
It is sad to report that John Marsden died yesterday after a long illness.
John has been involved in BOG activities since the late 1980s and has helped on many BOG projects. Local birding has lost a real wildlife enthusiast and a thoroughly nice man - thanks John from everyone involved in the group.
Our thoughts are with his family
The funeral is at Nab Wood on Friday 27th October at 2.40pm
