A lyrical celebration of birdsong, and the rekindling of a deep
passion for nature. 'At this time of year, blackbirds never simply
fly: instead, like reluctantly retired officers, they're always "on
manoeuvres", and it's easy to see from their constant agitation
that for them every flower bed is a bunker, every shed a redoubt
and every hedge-bottom a potential place of ambush' As the world
went silent in lockdown, something else happened; for the first
time, many of us started becoming more aware of the spring sounds
of the birds around us. Birdsong in a Time of Silence is a lyrical,
uplifting reflection on these sounds and what they mean to us. From
a portrait of the blackbird - most prominent and articulate of the
early spring singers - to explorations of how birds sing, the
science behind their choice of song and nest-sites, and the varied
meanings that people have brought to and taken from birdsong, this
book ultimately shows that natural history and human history cannot
be separated. It is the story of a collective reawakening brought
on by the strangest of springs.
