I have recently acquired a breathtaking collection of 1000s of bird books, art, slides and equipment belonging to legendary birder Tony Murphy the founder of Warrington based bird watching centre Focalpoint Optics. Fittingly his impressive collection was sold for the benefit of the RSPB and having obtained the majority of it myself I will now be listing numerous bird related items over the coming months, including stunning original art, over a 1000 quality bird books and in excess of 1...0, 000 slides. So if this may be of interest to you please make sure to bookmark me and to see items currently available from the collection please click here BIRDS and BIRD WATCHING.
