Reginald Ernest Moreau

Reginald Ernest Moreau, (1897 – 1970), was an English ornithologist.

Moreau was among the pioneering ornithologists who focused on life history studies of birds. In 1944 he suggested in a paper in the Ibis that birds laid larger clutches of eggs in the higher latitudes than in the tropics. This was based on his studies of birds in Africa.^[1]^[2] The British Ornithologists' Union awarded him the Godman-Salvin award at their Annual General Meeting on 3 April 1966.
