To this lovely man ! John Neville sadly died last week. A wonderful gentleman and a brilliant birder. John had a fantastic sense of humour, huge courage in the face of the many health difficulties than aflicted him but never stopped him from going off on yet another birding adventure.
Here he is handing over a significant donation to the Chairman of the Greystone Park Nature Preserve in Harare for the construction of an island in their dam. So he was also a man of great generosity !
John resting on the banks of the Pungwe River in far eastern Zimbabwe.
He loved the forests in the Zambezi delta region of central Mocambique as these two pictures show very typical views of John simply absorbing his environment and ensuring that he remembers it all.
Rest in Peace John. We will all miss you.
