Publisher's Synopsis
Wild Quest Britain: A Nature Journey of Discovery is a year-long journey through the island of Britain, from Cornwall to Caithness, taking in a diverse and wonderful variety of natural places in between. In each chapter, Scotland's National Book Awards shortlisted author, Keith Broomfield, marvels at Britain's wide-ranging landscape, discovering a dazzling array of remarkable flora and fauna - both on land and under the sea. In If Rivers Could Sing, Keith chronicled a wildlife year on a Scottish river; in the acclaimed A Scottish Wildlife Odyssey ('10/10 A joyous read, celebrating nature', The Courier), he undertook a five-month voyage of nature discovery across Scotland; now, in Wild Quest Britain, he undertakes a wildlife journey encompassing England, Scotland and Wales, which best-selling nature writer, Dominic Couzens, has described as 'a delightful, gentle but deeply rich meander through the backwaters of wildlife Britain'. With an eclectic line-up that includes dancing brimstone butterflies, secretive sand lizards, elusive warblers, graceful cranes, mysterious nudibranchs, colourful fungi and soaring eagles, this is a book that takes the reader on a joyous journey of discovery with the turn of each page.
