Arnold Boyd

Arnold W. Boyd MC, MA, FZS, FRES, MBOU (1885-1959) was an ornithologist and naturalist from Cheshire, England.

He was a long-time contributor to The Guardian's "Country Diary" column, taking over a slot from Thomas Coward in 1933, on the latter's death. In 1950, he revised Coward's "The Birds of the British Isles and their eggs" for a new edition.

Boyd was uncle to James Fisher, who also became a leading ornithologist and natural history writer and broadcaster.
