From the Northern Lights to whirling coastal birds, and sunken
villages to the annual deer rut, the UK is home to some of the
world's finest natural spectacles. With this guide and a little
luck, you too can experience the magic of seeing something truly
extraordinary. Start planning your spectacular year with the help
of this practical guide to the UK’s most magical natural
phenomena. This guide shows you when and where to go, and how to
maximise your chances of a sighting, as well as explaining why
these amazing spectacles occur in the first place. Sections cover:
- Space: meteor showers, eclipses and supermoons, Northern Lights -
Weather: hidden currents, mountain waves, named winds - Tides:
tidal bores, tidal races, low tide walks - Land: autumn colours,
wildflower displays, rutting deer - Rivers and lakes: salmon runs,
sunken villages, waterfall wonders - Coast: wheeling waterbirds,
seabird cities, seal pups Each spectacle is graded according to how
easy it is to spot, and the author gives expert tips on achieving
the best sighting. Scientific insights describe the astronomical,
meteorological and ecological causes of events, which are brought
to life through the stories of the people who know them best, from
the glider pilots who ride mountain waves to the King’s Guides
who help people navigate the dangerous sands of Morecombe Bay. This
is your starting point for some truly phenomenal adventures.
