Notă biografică
Jon
Dunn
is
a
natural-history
writer,
photographer
and
tour
leader
based
in
Shetland,
who
travels
worldwide
searching
for
memorable
wildlife
encounters.
A
childhood
exploring
the
water
meadows
and
abandoned
orchards
of
the
Somerset
Levels
and
the
droves
and
ancient
woods
of
Dorset's
Blackmore
Vale
spurred
a
lifelong
passion
for
all
things
natural-history-based.
His
Shetland
home
features
otters
on
his
doorstep,
and
summer
evenings
watching
porpoises
from
the
kitchen
window.
Once
stalked
by
a
puma
on
the
edge
of
Mexico's
Sierra
Madre
Occidental,
he
generally
prefers
experiencing
wildlife
on
his
own
terms
and
not
as
part
of
the
food
chain.
