Bob Gibbons

Bob Gibbons (1949–2024) was a writer, photographer, and wildlife tour guide with an almost unrivalled knowledge of the European flora. By his 20s he had led botanical expeditions to Afghanistan and Nepal, and his later tours for Natural History Travel took in every continent except Antarctica. His widely praised images of wildflowers, birds, animals, and insects have appeared internationally in many magazines and books. He was the author of more than 40 books, including Wildflower Wonders: The 50 Best Wildflower Sites in the World (Princeton WILDGuides).
