This beautifully written book chronicles a year in the life of a large urban park on the banks of the Warwickshire Avon, and the surprising wildlife to be found as the seasons unfold. There are exiting discoveries, little-known facts, tips on identification, and the legends associated with many of our wild creatures. From long-distance migrants to spectacular predators, each month brings something new and uplifting. A fascinating diary of a year of discovery. (Stephen Moss, Naturalist and Author). A walk in the park will never be quite the same after reading this. (Nic Hallam, BBRC).
