- Hugh Whistler, F.Z.S. , M.B.O.U. was an English ornithologist. Whistler was born in Mablethorpe and educated at Aldenham School. He served with the Indian police in the Punjab province from 1909 to 1926. Whistler studied and collected birds and on retiring to England he continued his researches into Indian ornithology. He also make collecting trips to Spain and Albania, often in the company of Claud Buchanan Ticehurst. Whistler's publications include the Popular Handbook of Indian Birds (1928). Two more editions of this publication were produced and the last was produced after his death. In this work he foresaw the value of popularizing observation based ornithology: Whistler lived at Battle, East Sussex during his retirement, where he was a Justice of the Peace. He joined the British Ornithologists' Union in 1913 and in 1940 served as its as Vice-President. He visited Kashmir with Admiral Lynes and wanted to produce an account of the birds of Punjab and Kashmir, however this was not completed. The Whistler Prize of Sussex University, awarded to the best essay on natural history or archaeology, is named after him. His collection of 17,000 bird skins is now at the Natural History Museum.
- Hugh Whistler oli englantilainen lintutieteilijä. Hugh Whistlerin isä oli majuri Fuller Whistler. Whistler opiskeli Aldenham Schoolissa. Hän palveli Intian poliisivoimissa Punjabissa 1909–1926. Täällä hän tutki ja keräsi lintuja. Palattuaan Englantiin hän jatkoi intialaisten lintujen tutkimista. Hän suoritti keräilymatkoja myös Espanjaan ja Albaniaan, usein Claud Buchanan Ticehurstin seurassa. Whistler avioitui 2. lokakuuta 1925 Margaret Joan Ashtonin kanssa ja heille syntyi kaksi lasta: Benedicta ja Ralf Ashton. Whistler julkaisi Popular Handbook of Indian Birds 1928. Hän toimitti kirjasta kaksi uusintapainosta ja kolmas ilmestyi hänen kuolemansa jälkeen. Eläkkeelle jäätyään Whistler asui Battlessa, Itä-Sussexissa, ja toimi rauhantuomarina. Hän liittyi British Ornithologists' Unioniin 1913 ja toimi seuran varapuheenjohtajana 1940. Sussexin yliopiston Whistler Prize, joka myönnetään parhaasta luonnonhistoriallisesta tai arkeologisesta esseestä, on nimetty hänen kunniakseen. Hänen 17 000 linnunnahan kokoelmansa on sijoitettu Natural History Museumiin. Whistler kuvaili ja nimesi joitakin lintujen alalajeja, muun muassa pyrstötiaisen alalajin aremoricus.
