This collection of mainly ornithological titles (and ephemera) has sold for £800 at an auction conducted earlier this month by Dominic Winter at their premises in Cirencester in Gloucestershire. It is thought that the most valuable of the volumes is the first edition (1909) of Norman Ticehurst's A History of the Birds of Kent. Also in the Lot was a copy of The Birds of Suffolk by his younger brother, Claud.
