David Lees began training as a gardener at Hampton Court before deciding to join the Royal Marines. When he returned home, he had time to explore his fascination for wildlife and started surveying for the BTO nest recording programme. Through this work, he became part of a team studying Kestrel and Owl breeding, and carried out ringing of many species throughout the UK. A keen ornithologist, David spent time abroad, gathering evidence for the First and Second edition of this book, and providing much of the biometrical data. David sadly passed away in 2010.
John Ferguson began his career as a junior laboratory technician in the Zoology Department of University College London, where museum preparation and attending lectures as a projectionist was a good grounding in animal biology, anatomy and taxonomy. He then moved on to Imperial College London, where he worked as Chief Technician, before spending time in Kuwait, and also working as a Technical Service Representative back in the UK.
Michael Lawrence has been interested in natural history from an early age and worked at the Zoology Department of University College London, where he became friends with co-author John Ferguson.

Michael retains his special interest in foreign travel to study evidence of rare and unusual species.
