We would like to inform our membership that unfortunately local birder Harvey Kendall passed away on Tuesday 11th October. Harvey was a valued member and contributor to CBWPS for many years and was a very keen birder on the north coast of Cornwall, especially in the Bude area. I have fond memories of Harvey at Maer Lake, Davidstow Airfield and Walmsley Sanctuary where his friendly face and passion for birds and birding always shone through. Bob Bosisto
