Andy Coghlan reports birds of prey spreading fire in Australia (13January, p 4). Back in 1959, Maurice Burton, a zoologist at the Natural History Museum in London and a popular science author, summarised his research and experiences with fire-loving corvids in his book Phoenix Re-Born. I remember the cover showing a crow in a striking phoenix-like pose - and this image appearing on the cover of Lady Chotterley's Lover by D. H, Lawrence in 1960 after a failed obscenity prosecution and the book's belated release uncut in the UK.
