Might be better in Talk Nature.......?

Gavin Maxwell - 15 July 1914 – 7 September 1969

Aristocrat, adventurer, naturalist, conservationist, secret agent, shark hunter, racing driver, painter and social renegade: Gavin Maxwell (1914 - 1969) was not only a most remarkable Scotsman, but also one of the most popular wildlife authors of the last century with "The Ring Of Bright Water"

An amazing yet troubled man and a huge inspiration for me............

Just a few compact camera snaps from a rainy dog walk down at (Camusfeàrna) Sandaig.

Quite probably better in Talk Nature but, if it interests anyone, tomorrow and Thurday Radio 4 Extra will be re-broadcasting Terry Nutkins' story of growing up chez Maxwell
 
Cheers Jonathan - I'll try and catch those.
