I can't offer any information but do know that a guy from the BBC was
looking for information on Coots for a David Attenborough special. I sent
him Dan Gleason's address but don't know if he ever followed through with Dan.

At any rate, he might have uncovered some info. His email is:
Ian.Gray at bbc.co.uk and his name is Ian.
