The Long Wild Shore - out now and available from The One Stop Nature Shop £25.00
The Long, Wild Shore explores
the seasons on the North Norfolk coast. It uses the famous landmark of Blakeney
Point as its focus - an area steeped in history and renowned for its colonies
of seals and nesting birds.
Individual chapters show the
lives of Common and Grey Seals and well-known breeding birds such as Little and
Sandwich Terns, Oystercatchers and Ringed Plovers.
The area is also famed as a
location to experience bird migration and additional illustrated chapters focus
on this exciting spectacle.
Over one hundred paintings and
numerous watercolour sketches have been reproduced in the book. The paintings
and sketches were made almost exclusively in the field at the time of watching
and the vast majority were completed on Blakeney Point during the years that
the author worked there as a warden.
