Remembering an icon: Tony Soper

We were deeply saddened to hear of the death of nature writer and broadcaster Tony Soper in September.

Tony worked closely with the RSPB in many ways, including writing for this magazine and helping to set up the Sutton Coldfield RSPB Local Group.

In his career, he helped create the BBC’s Natural History Unit and Birdwatch.

You can watch one of the RSPB films he made, Getting to Know Birds, below.
