Sad to hear of the passing of another birder/photographer to illness, Bob was a great nature-photographer and keen ornithologist, but fought in vain with peritoneal cancer. He will be missed by all that knew him, Tom — ******************************** Tom Tarrant Hawthorn East 3123 Victoria http://www.aviceda.org ********************************

Tom and those who knew Bob, Although Bob did have cancer, the operation was a success. Unfortunately Bob contracted one of those hospital superbugs, and spent the next eleven months in hospital in high care trying to survive. I visited him weekly, and it was dreadful to watch. In the end, when medical knowledge could offer him no further hope, he opted to live no longer, requesting the withdrawal of all lifesaving measures. To the end his intellect remained as before. He was a great friend of mine. Bob’s funeral is this Friday, Feb 27 at Traditional Funerals Chapel at 17 Anzac Ave, Redcliffe at 11am. Bob’s brothers will welcome any of Bob’s friends who wish to attend. Cheers, Jill Jill Dening Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia 26° 51′ 41″S 152° 56′ 00″E On 23/02/2015 8:56 AM, Tom Tarrant wrote:

Very sad to hear of Bob’s passing. I did not have the pleasure of meeting him, but enjoyed many a repartee via email. He will be sorely missed. Carl Clifford

Hi Tom and all This is indeed very sad news – Robert had been many months in hospital after a major operation. Bob will be sadly missed in the south east Queensland birding world – he was passionate about the birds of his area and most particularly shorebirds, and his detailed studies into birds such as the Wandering Tattler and others were always of great interest and immense value. He was also a fine photographer of birds and I was fortunate to share time with him on a few occasions. RIP Bob David Taylor Sent from my iPad
