He was a member of the RSPB's council in the 1950s and 1960s, chairing its finance and general purposes committee.

Using his own money to facilitate the transaction he was, for one day, owner of the Lodge. In December 1958 he presented a talk on the BBC Home Service, In Search of Prunella, about the alpine accentor (Prunella collaris).
