The Wildlife Year

How to Reconnect with Nature Through the Seasons

The Wildlife Year will help you reconnect with nature and take a walk on the wild side, wherever you live.

Nature is right on your doorstep. Whether you’re in the countryside, city or somewhere in between, there is wildlife everywhere if you know where to look. And while it’s trickier to find in some places than others, nature can thrive in the most surprising spaces.

The Wildlife Year is a gentle introduction to the events that mark the natural cycle of the year. Best-selling author, Sally Coulthard, will inspire you to discover nature in all its glory and to seek out, observe and enjoy the wildlife around you. Explore the unique properties of the seasons. Discover more about meteorological phenomena like weather events and cloud formations. And even learn how the moon and its cycle affects the natural world. This fascinating introduction will help you identify both our best-loved, and most misunderstood, plants, birds, mammals, amphibians, and insects, with helpful information on where and when to look for them.

This book is a glorious celebration of the magic that can be found in each season. Beautifully illustrated, this irresistible guide will encourage you to get outdoors and make a wonderful gift for the nature-seeker in all of us.
