Nodyn | Note
William Moreton Condry was a naturalist and writer who lived and worked in West Wales from about1946 until his death in 1998. He was born in Birmingham on 1 March 1918. His father was a craftsmanjeweller - a diamond setter - who took a great interest in politics, being a pacifist and a member ofthe Independent Labour Party, and both his parents were 'Clarionites', so named after the paper runby the socialist Robert Blatchford. Following his primary and grammar school education, he attendedBirmingham University, graduating in 1939 in French, Latin and History, and obtaining a teachingcertificate a year later. He spent the Second World War as a conscientious objector, working in forestryin Herefordshire, before graduating in French at London University in 1945. Some years later he pursuedhis interest in French, researching Andre Gide at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and obtaining aMaster's degree in 1951.Condry' s connections with Wales and his interest in the countryside began at an early age through familyholidays in remote parts of the Merionethshire coastal district and Cader Idris. During his school days

he developed an increasing fascination with ornithology and natural history, an enthusiasm shared byhis friend, Harold Wright, with whom he surveyed the birds of North Worcestershire, and undertookexplorations by bicycle of the remote upland regions of Powys. It was in Wales that he met his futurewife, Penny, who was warden of the Nanmor Youth Hostel in Snowdonia. The couple married in 1946and lived successively near Ponterwyd, at Tal-y-bont, at Glygyrog-ddu between Aberdyfi and Pennal,in Cwm Einion and finally at Eglwys-fach near Machynlleth. After a season as youth hostel wardens,they became involved in the work of the farmer and writer, Ronald Lockley, who was one of the foundersof the West Wales Field Society (later the West Wales Wildlife Trust), and early in 1947 they assistedwith the establishing of the Field Studies Council Centre at Dale Fort. Later in the same year, Condryconducted a survey of upland birds in mid-Wales and wrote a paper on his findings for a scientific journal,The Naturalist.In 1949 he embarked on a ten year teaching career at Lapley Grange, Eglwys-fach, but he continued topursue his wildlife interests in addition to his school work. From 1947 to 1956 he was the nature wardenfor mid-Wales and edited the West Wales Field Society's Field Notes. As a progression of that work,in 1955 he became one of the co-editors of Nature in Wales, the journal of the West Wales Naturalists'Trust. He and his wife, with others, expressed a particular commitment to the preservation of the RedKite, becoming members of the newly formed Kite Committee in 1949. In 1953 he was involved withsetting up the Bardsey Bird and Field Observatory, in which he maintained an interest for the rest of hislife, being honorary secretary for eight years, then president, and finally, in 1990, honorary life president.His contributions to bird protection in Wales were acknowledged when, in 1965, he was awarded theRSPB Silver Medal. Towards the end of the 1950's, William and Penny Condry were invited to live atYnys Edwin, one of the Ynys-hir estate cottages, by the owner, Hubert Mappin, who was dedicated tothe cause of nature conservation. Following Mappin's death, the estate was purchased by the RSPB andCondry became its first warden in 1969. In recognition of his work he was awarded an honorary MSc.by the University of Wales in 1980. In addition to his activities in the field, he was engaged in extensivelecturing, broadcasting, committee work and literary pursuits.Over a period of many years he was a member of numerous societies and committees, including theBritish Trust for Ornithology (being the representative for Cardiganshire for several years), MerionethReserves Committee of the North Wales Naturalists' Trust, the Nature Conservancy Committee for Wales,the Executive Committee of the Council for Nature, the Education Sub-committee of the Prince of WalesConservation Committee, Montgomeryshire Field Society, the Council for the Protection of Rural Walesand the National Trust.From his youth William Condry kept a series of nature diaries in which he recorded his observations,and throughout his career he continued to write, producing a large quantity of books and articles,often illustrated with his own photographs. His first book, Thoreau, was published in Witherby'sGreat Naturalists series in 1954. Other works of which he was sole or co-author include The Birds ofCardiganshire (West Wales Naturalists' Trust 1966), The Snowdonia National Park (Collins 1966), Birdsand Wild Africa (Collins 1967), Exploring Wales (Faber 1970), Pathway to the Wild (Faber 1975), TheWorld of a Mountain (Faber 1977), The Natural History of Wales (Collins 1981), Snowdonia (David& Charles 1987), The National Trust, Wales (Gomer 1991), Wildlife in our Welsh Parish (Eglwys-fach Women's Institute 1993), A Welsh Country Diary (Gomer 1993), `The Vertebrate Animals ofCardiganshire' in the Cardiganshire County History Vol. I (University of Wales Press, Cardiff 1994),Wildlife, My Life (Gomer 1995), Welsh Country Essays (Gomer 1996) and Wildlife Safari, the Lifeof Mary Richards (published postumously by Gomer, 1998). He wrote widely on conservation, and theWelsh landscape for magazines such as Country Life, and he was greatly renowned for his `CountryDiaries' which were published regularly in the Guardian between 1957 and 1998. Further areas of research

included local history and the work of other naturalists, both past and contemporary, including E. H. T.Bible, whose nature diaries he acquired.William Condry died in Morriston hospital on 30 May 1998.
Hanes Gwarchodol | Custodial history
Following the initial transfer of William Condry's papers in 1998, Penny Condry has added some papersto the archive, such as tributes and reviews of some of his books, which were published after his death.
Natur a chynnwys | Scope and content
Natural history diaries, 1935-1998, field notes, 1952-1994, typescript and published articles, 1947-1998,notes and correspondence relating to his books, 1933-1998, and to various natural history and historicalsubjects, card indexes, 1930-1998, and printed pamphlets, papers and books relating to Henry Thoreau,1943-1999. There are several files of general personal correspondence, 1938-2016, including letters fromR.S. Thomas. Inevitably, there are considerable overlaps between the various subsections of the archive,since Condry's interests, professional duties and literary activities were inextricably linked. Additionalcorrespondence and papers, 1948-2015, including the file of letters from R. S. Thomas and his wife Elsi,1968-1998, were transferred to NLW in December 2015; a further letter, [c. 1946], by William Condry toRay Perry, was donated in January 2016; and a letter by Condry to his niece, Christine Demmar, enclosinga story about a pet jackdaw, was donated in August 2016.

Natur a chynnwys | Scope and content:
The series comprises a complete set of nature diaries which William Condry kept from his late teens,the only significant omission being a deliberate one, during the years of the Second World War. Theearlier diaries are almost exclusively concerned with birds, noting the sightings, calls, nests, feedingand courtship habits, and identifying features, with occasional sketches. A gradual progression maybe seen, from about 1949 onwards, as Condry developed his interest in other wildlife, and moreparticularly in plants, recording their habitats, individual sightings and identification, sometimesassisted by drawings. Species of birds, mammals, insects and plants are usually underlined forclarity. Accounts are given of daily events, meetings and places visited in connection with Condry'sprofessional conservation duties and literary work. Several of the diaries contain charts of birds andbutterflies recorded at Ynys-hir. Weather conditions are recorded throughout. Relevant enclosuresare frequent. Some of the diaries have integral indexes, and it is evident from the other papers in thearchive that the entries formed useful points of reference for the preparation of books and articles.
