The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims:
He was co-author as well of A Guide to the Birds of the Philippines as mentioned in OD.
I now nothing about him and therefore assume the claimed is correct. But what was his middle name?

Etymology.—We name this form in honour of the late Tim Fisher, dedicated Philippine ornithologist and co-author of Kennedy et al. (2000).
The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims:
Timothy H. Fisher (1947–2010) was a British ornithologist and pioneer birdwatcher in the Philippines, where he he lived (1974– 2010). He had a bachelor's degree in biology and was a qualified chartered accountant. He co-wrote A Photographic Guide to Birds of the Philippines (2001).
He was co-author as well of A Guide to the Birds of the Philippines as mentioned in OD.
I now nothing about him and therefore assume the claimed is correct. But what was his middle name?
