He also edited their journal, Field Notes.[2] He was warden at the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds's {{lang|cy|Ynys-hir}} reserve from its inception in 1969, until his in 1982, he and Penny having lived at Ynys Edwin cottage there since 1959 at the invitation of Hugh Mapin, the owner of the estate.[4] Condry was one of the main forces in the preservation of the red kite in Wales. He wrote many guides and nature books, including two volumes in Collins' New Naturalist series, Snowdonia National Park (1966) and The Natural History of Wales (1984). Pathway to the Wild (1975) and Wildlife My Life (1995) are autobiographical.[2] He contributed, fortnightly, to The Guardian{{'}}s Country Diary column for over forty years,[5] and appeared on several BBC Radio programmes.[6] He received an honorary MSc from the University of Wales in 1980, and held the position of Vice-President of the West Wales Naturalists' Trust from 1982.[4] He died from kidney failure on 30 May 1998, at Morriston Hospital.[3] Following cremation at Aberystwyth, his ashes were scattered on Cadair Idris.[3] The William Condry Memorial Lecture is held annually in his honour,[5] and a hide at {{lang|cy|Ynys-hir}} is named after him.[1] Works - {{Cite book |first=Wiliam Moreon |last=Condry |authormask=0 |title=Thoreau |publisher=Witherby |year=1954 |isbn=978-0854930425 }}
