Lyndon Lomax

 It is with great sadness that we share the news of the death of Lyndon Lomax, a longstanding member of the group, and a good friend to many of our number.  He had been unwell for the last year, but had deteriorated in recent weeks. 

Lyndon lived in Pembrokeshire,  but was a regular visitor to Ceredigion.  Some of you will have met him on boat trips from New Quay or from his visits to Teifi Marshes.   Most of you will have at some point seen his photos either on this site or perhaps in publications such as the book  'Where' to watch birds in Wales .' Lyndon was a very knowledgeable and well respected birder.  He gave illustrated talks at conferences and local groups and was particularly active within Pembrokeshire.  For many years he organised wildlife boat trips under the auspices of the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales.

On Friday we went out with Seamor dolphin watching on their  'Spout shout ' in  Cardigan Bay.  We lamented Lyndon’s absence and thought how much he would have enjoyed It.   Its was therefore particularly poignant on returning home to receive news of his death that very morning....

Rest in Peace Lynton, you will be sorely missed.

Janet and Karen included a set of photos from their boat trip.  Unfortunately, I'm unable to include them as my ancient laptop has recently died.  I will add them as soon as I am able.
