Ian Nicholson

Ian worked in the insurance industry for over 35 years before taking early retirement, and now spends most of his time (family commitments permitting) watching birds and other wildlife. He is a qualified bird ringer, and is the secretary of Humber Wader Ringing Group and Pickering Forest Ringing Group, as well as being heavily involved in bird survey work and ringing in his local area around York.  He is also a regular visitor to various birding locations on the East Coast. He has been interested in wildlife all his life, and has travelled extensively in the UK and around the world in pursuit of this interest. Other than wildlife, his interests are mainly in sport (as a spectator these days!), particularly Cricket, Rugby and Motor Racing.
