Posted: 07 Jan 2010 He worked for the Natural history museum in the pollen dept, but one of his real interested was reptiles. He had written quite a few books on the subject. I met him about 25 years ago at the old IHS meeting in Birmingham, really nice guy. Mark |

Posted: 03 Mar 2010 Peter was a good friend and I only found out about his passing just a little while ago. Don't forget his little adder book, is/was very popular. He also has photos in my new book 'Old World Viper'. He also edited the BHS Bulletin for a long time and made a darn good job of it. he will be missed. 'I get my kicks on Route 62' |

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 peter staffords two shire natural history books (lizards of the british isles/the adder) are both essential purchases. big bridges to better understanding for the naturalist whos got the basics but isnt ready to read a herp journal yet. they certainly brought me on. amazing value for money at the time too. a belated RIP mr stafford. great work! in fact just about anything in that shire natural history series is worth getting.
