it is with great sadness that I have to tell you off the passing of Alan Rowley aka Twitch.  Alan fought a 6 year battle with illness.  Although I never met Alan we used to correspond occasionally and of course chat on CT I feel the loss of a someone I considered a friend.  

My thoughts and prayers are with Meryl and the family.  RIP Alan

    What awful news.

    I never met Alan either, but also kept in touch with him via email, ever since he left a note on the windscreen of my car at Cley reserve.

    How he knew it was my car I will never know.

    He was a lovely man, a very knowledgeable birder and a long suffering fan of Bolton Wanderers.

    RIP

    😢😢😢

    How very sad. I emailed Alan quite a few times but haven't heard from him for some time. I was only thinking of him last week as I was reading some notes on Aiguamolls as we hope to go there next year. It was details on this reserve that started our emails. 

    I wish we had met. Seemed a really nice person.
