Robert "Bobby" John Tulloch[1] MBE (4 January 1929 – 21 May 1996) was a naturalist[2] from Shetland[3][4] in the north of Scotland.
Bobby Tulloch was born on a croft at Aywick on the eastern side of Yell, as the oldest of four children, and lived much of his life in the village of Mid Yell. He served national service in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong.[5]
Tulloch started as an apprentice baker with his brother-in-law and remained in the trade until 1964, when after meeting George Waterston of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), he was appointed as RSPB warden in Shetland.[5] He was especially associated with the snowy owls that started breeding on the island of Fetlar in 1967. He featured in a number of BBC Natural History Unit programmes, including a personal recounting of his discovery of the snow owls nesting on Fetlar, originally broadcast in 1974 on the BBC Radio 4 programme The Living World and rebroadcast by Lindsey Chapman in 2019.[6][7]
Bobby Tulloch was an artist, boatman, musician, naturalist, photographer, storyteller and writer. In 1994, he was awarded an MBE. He was nicknamed "Tucker" by his friends.[8] He has been described as one of Shetland's "greatest-ever ambassadors".[9] A book of reminiscences about Bobby Tulloch, Bobby the Birdman, was published in 2016.[10][11]
