What an unexpected delight. Beautifully written with relevant cultural and historical stories throughout, which were not only interesting, but also helped to contextualise these birds in our lives. The audiobook was very much like listening to an in-depth documentary series with each chapter looking at a different bird (not unlike James Macdonald Lockhart’s Raptor: A Journey Through Birds but without the walking journey). When I first thought about getting into nature writing, it was this kind of book that I was hoping to encounter. I think I’ll have to pick up a hard copy of this one for my shelves and to revisit in future.
