'Prose from a poet and a personal take on the spectacles' Chris
Packham, author of Fingers in the Sparkle Jar Shortlisted for
Richard Jefferies Society & White Horse Bookshop Literary Prize
2017 Longlisted for the Wainwright Prize 2017 Britain is a nation
of bird-lovers. However, few of us fully appreciate the sheer
scale, variety and drama of our avian life. From city-centre
hunters to vast flocks straight out of the Arctic wilderness,
much-loved dawn songsters to the exotic invaders of supermarket car
parks, a host of remarkable wildlife spectacles are waiting to be
discovered right outside our front doors. In A Sky Full of Birds,
poet and nature writer Matt Merritt shares his passion for
birdwatching by taking us to some of the great avian gatherings
that occur around the British isles - from ravens in Anglesey and
raptors on the Wirral, to Kent nightingales and Scottish
capercaillies. By turns lyrical, informative and entertaining, he
shows how natural miracles can be found all around us, if only we
know where to look for them. A Sky Full of Birds is the perfect
read for avid birdwatchers and a beautiful gift for lovers of
nature and poetic prose.
