I was really saddened, last night, to hear of the death of naturalist and writer Ray Collier. His intimate and unassuming articles in The Guardian, Highland News and on the Wilderness Cottages website revealed his tremendous wealth of knowledge and insight into Scottish wildlife. I was fortunate enough to correspond with him by e mail and phone, and I always found him extremely generous with his time and knowledge. He was no doubt much loved by his family and friends, and my sympathies go out to all of them. For my own part I am extremely grateful for the invaluable legacy of writing he has left behind.

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
