Walking with Birds: An Exploration of Wildlife and Landscape of a Cumbrian Valley

This text explores the wildlife, especially birds, of one of the most magnificent and popular Lake District valleys, close to the coast of Morecambe Bay. It is a culmination of over 50 years involvement with wildlife. It is also a personal narrative concerning the re-discovery of one's place in the natural world in an age of an ever increasing alienation of people from nature and its processes. The text is complimented by watercolours by the author of some of the places and moods he describes.
