This book 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 rediscovery 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 beautiful watercolours by the author of some of the places and moods he describes.

Shortlisted for the Lakeland Book Award.
