Notes From Elsewhere

Dr Canning Suffern, naturalist (1892-1978), was brought up in Worcestershire and developed a keen interest in the natural history of his county, particularly around Rubery. He trained as a doctor, his studies being interrupted by World War I, in which he served in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, as a surgeon-probationer. He subsequently held posts at a number of hospitals, before joining the staff of THE LANCET. His studies in natural history switched to Hampshire and his ornithological work around Titchfield Haven acted as a catalyst for further collaborative study after World War II. BIRDS OF HAMPSHIRE ed. J.M.Clark and J.A.Eyre (Winchester, Hampshire Ornithological Society, 1993) pp. 38-45
