Bradt's popular guidebook 52 Wildlife Weekends suggests inspiring
itineraries for 52 unforgettable British wildlife-watching breaks,
stretching from the Isles of Scilly to northern Scotland - each
perfectly timed for every week of the year. Thoroughly updated to
reflect Britain's ever-changing natural history, this second
edition integrates the latest information on the country's most
thrilling wildlife experiences, suggests new target species and
showcases fabulous new locations. Written by an award-winning
author and experienced naturalist James Lowen, 52 Wildlife Weekends
remains the only guide to package Britain's nature-watching
highlights into deftly timed, user-friendly holiday suggestions.
Say it's February and you want to watching otters. Or May: time for
spring flowers and bewitching butterflies. Or July, and you fancy
marvelling at dragonflies. Or October: the height of bird
migration. Whenever in the year you get a chance to escape, this
book suggests 48 hours' worth of brilliant wildlife-watching -
perfect for staycations, whether as a weekend or part of a longer
holiday. 52 Wildlife Weekends suggests a year's worth of short
breaks celebrating the full range of Britain's most exciting
wildlife, from tiny silver-spotted skipper butterflies to
gargantuan basking sharks, and from seabird skyscrapers to
ostentatious orchids. Covering more than 40 counties or regions,
this unique guide offers engaging descriptions, detailed directions
(including grid references and postcodes), accommodation
suggestions, and assessments of accessibility and (new for this
edition) child-friendliness, plus 180 mouth-watering colour
photographs. Find out how, where and when to track down such
thrilling creatures as beavers and basking sharks, eagles and
otters, dolphins and dragonflies, glow worms and grey seals. Why
not open the New Year on a real-life wild goose chase in the Inner
Hebrides? Or make a spring pilgrimage to Yorkshire see truly wild
daffodils? Or experience underwater life by peering into rivers for
rare fish in Powys, snorkelling in Dorset, or rock-pooling in
Devon? Or gawp at starling murmurations, shape-shifting through the
autumnal sky, in Suffolk or Somerset. Combining the very best of
travel and wildlife guides, and covering both well-known spectacles
and less familiar species, Bradt's 52 Wildlife Weekends has
something for everyone - wildlife experts and novice ecotourist
alike.
