Eric Hardy had offered to review ‘The Birds of Breconshire’. The letter from Phillips is both a thank you, provides some charming background to his efforts in pulling the book together and also answers seven questions Hardy had about the content of ‘The Birds of Breconshire’. One highlight of the letter is Phillips defence of his observations of the Golden Eagle in Breconshire.
