In "A Country Naturalist's Year", Colin McKelvie records his
seasonal encounters with the wildlife and landscapes of the British
Isles. From the depths of winter through the year to the end of
another autumn, he takes the reader through a richly varied
tapestry of habitats and wildlife experiences, from the winter
courtship of foxes in the Scottish hills to the emergence of
mayflies on a loch in spring, from the competitive sparring of
upland ravens and peregrine falcons at nesting time to the
diversity of autumn waterfowl and waders on a tidal estuary, from
the moorland breeding haunts of golden plover to the arrival of
winter migrant birds from northern Europe - all viewed through the
eyes of a practical naturalist who also reflects on the wider
challenges of the 1990s to the future of the British countryside
and the myriad form of wildlife, insects and plants that are to be
found there. Colin McKelvie's text is illustrated with over 80
specially commissioned watercolour paintings by Rodger McPhail,
acclaimed as one of the finest British wildlife artist of recent
times.
