From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ronald Mathias Lockley (November 8, 1903 - April 12, 2000) was a Welsh naturalist and author.
In 1927 Lockley took over the lease of the island of Skokholm, establishing the first British bird observatory there in 1933.
Lockley was the author of over fifty books, including The Private Life of the Rabbit (1965), which inspired Richard Adams's Watership Down.
