Brings together the best of the author's newpaper and magazine dispatches, alongside unpublished essays, in a poetic and evocative journal that inspires and delights. Jameson's prose is fresh and in places irreverent, with a hint of mischief and a dash of wit.
About the author
Conor Mark Jameson has written for the
Guardian, BBC Wildlife, the
Ecologist, New Statesman, Africa Geographic, NZ Wilderness, British Birds, Birdwatch and
Birdwatching magazines and has been a scriptwriter for the BBC Natural History Unit. He is a columnist and feature writer for the RSPB magazine,
Nature's Home, and has worked in conservation for 20 years, in the UK and abroad. He was born in Uganda to Irish parents, brought up in Scotland, and now lives in England, in a village an hour north of London. His first book,

Looking for the Goshawk, in 2013, both by Bloomsbury.
He is a recent recipient of a Roger Deakin Award from the Society of Authors. When not campaigning for a better, safer planet, and making notes such as those you find here, he tries to find time to tinker with shrubs, and look for goshawks in a variety of habitats.
