Tells the story of the winter wildlife of the Solway Firth, that wild estuary set between the rugged hills of Cumbria and the rolling farmland, moors and forests of Dumfries and Galloway.

Recenzii

'ALTHOUGH ESSENTIALLY AN EXPLORATION of the remarkable life-cycle of the thousands of barnacle geese... ... ...this book offers a good deal more. ... The highly personal narrative is interspersed with the author's accounts of other trips and experiences in Scotland... ... ...making this as much a love letter to Scotland's wild places as a book about geese themselves.' - Scotland Outdoors '... This is a book by a birder, and a birder's book. The loving descriptions of the Solway and other reserves, the appreciation of landscape and wildlife other than birds, all come as a bonus. ... The photographs... ... ...have an attractive immediacy about them. ... ...if you enjoy reading about birds and their homes you'll enjoy this book' - Habitat 'It's a fine travel tale, mixed with natural history and keen observation en route. ... ...this is the perfect book to read...' - Waterlife 'His trvels make fascinating reading, rich in observation of all wildlife from the Solway Firth to Svalbard. An enjoyable and illuminating read evoking a real sense of adventure.' - Scottish Bird News '...what makes the book outstanding is the personal thoughts that come over and infuse on the reader's mind. ...the magical chapters such as Simer dim, Crossing the Artic Circle, Bear Island and the long chapter on Summering in Svalbard... ...the very readable text.' - The Highland News
