Norman F. Ellison (1893 – 1976) was an English radio presenter and author who made radio programmes about nature and the countryside for the BBC's Children's Hour[1], under the pseudonym Nomad the Naturalist, and wrote on the same subjects both as Nomad and in his own name.

Born in Liverpool in 1893[2], he signed up as a private in the 1/6th Battalion, King's Liverpool Regiment[3], at the outbreak of World War I[2], and served in the trenches in Belgium[2]. He saw action on The Somme[3] and at Flanders[3] but was discharged in 1917[3] suffering from trench foot[3]. His war dairies were published in 1997.

In later life, he lived at West Kirby[4], on the Wirral Peninsula, Cheshire[1]. He and Eric Hosking would watch birds together at Hilbre Island[4]. Six of his books were illustrated by his friend Charles Tunnicliffe[1].
