The following was a discussion that took place at the time, which
Ogilvie tried hard to stop being published.

I have read both books and think Konters book is definitely the
source
of Ogilvies work, as, apart from a play with words, it is quite
blatant! What do those of you who have seen the works think? Also
given the fact the proceeds of Konters work went into conservation,
and ogilvies went straight into his pocket!


It would be interesting to know to what extent Malcolm relied on
Konter's
book before making his public claim that his own book was the first
ever
book on grebes, and whether he acknowledged this in print, and how he
came
to forget about the existence of Konter's book, which was sitting on
his
shelf....
