Triffids Beard 2 - The Bearded Triffid

The Strix (commonly known as the Tawny Owl) is found throughout Britain, nesting in barns from which
it seldom emerges before dusk to forage for food. The choice of the Strix as the emblem for the award
commemorates not only Tony's love of birds, but also the highly successful information retrieval
program of that name which he developed. The award itself takes the form of a very dramatic bronze
statuette of the bird which was created by Jon Bickley of Old Buckenham, Norfolk.
A memorial booklet celebrating the life and achievements of Tony Kent was produced by the Institute in
September 1998. The obituary to Tony in the above article (sans book reviews, of course) was printed
as Chapter three of that memorial booklet.
