Ghosts of the Night


No animal better symbolises the desire to get closer and the need to respect distance than the owl. These remarkable creatures are both among and apart from us: sharing the same environments but carrying a sense of mystique as they beat their wings low over the fields where they hunt, or swoop up and around to their nest, high in a tree or haystack. There is something ethereal, awe- and fear-inspiring about the appearance and movement of these birds: graceful, distinctive, almost otherworldly. It is not hard to see why observers long ago watched the owl and deemed it a visitor from another place, with either a great or terrible message to impart. Every encounter with an owl is special, somehow new, and stands alone even as it helps you to understand patterns and connections. The silent approach of a white Barn Owl angel over a paddock is one of the most alluring images in the British countryside. The t’wit and the answering t’wo of the Tawny owl is a classic of the night. Both are tiny insights into the amazing lives of the owls that are found around us. Ghosts of the Night is a wonderful insight into every element of our British Owls – Barn and Tawny and their even more enigmatic cousins the Short-eared, Long-eared and Little. How well do they hear, how silently do they fly and how do they live in the ever changing countryside. Chris Sperring is the acknowleged expert and he explains everything you have ever wanted to know about these amazing creatures.

Rivers Run


LONGLISTED FOR THE INAUGURAL RICHARD JEFFERIES AWARD FOR NATURE WRITING‘A master of the landscape and a celebration of a life lived with the wild’ – Dan Kieran, author of The Idle Traveller‘[Parr] writes beautifully ... gentle, often elegiac ... There is much pleasure to be taken from this book’ - Tom Fort, Gamefisher‘Yet, sitting here at the beginning of that journey, I realise there is a different path I must follow. This entails not a simple exploration of a single river, or the fish I might catch from it, but an understanding of what it is that makes someone an angler – what it is that makes me an angler. … Although I don’t always need a rod in my hand to feel as if I belong by the riverside, it was angling that helped open my eyes. And as I sit here, I can hear the river calling me, bubbling up from deep underground, sharing its secrets.’From childhood memories of an Exmoor stream and of the Itchen during difficult teenage years, to finding solace on the banks of the Kennet and the catharsis of a storm on the Jurassic Coast, Rivers Run is a love letter from Kevin Parr to the rivers and waterways that shaped him. It is a book about fishing. But it’s also a book about living, surviving the difficult times and remembering to breathe. ‘A moving treatise on the way we deal with the dark things that life throws at us’ - BBC Countryfile magazine‘I very much enjoyed this book ... thoughtful and interesting’ - Mark Avery, author of Inglorious

The Cuckoo's Lea


A BBC WILDLIFE BEST BOOK OF 2025‘Magical … No journey in Britain will be quite the same again.’ The GuardianBirds have long inspired our emotional and imaginative connections to physical environments, but where did it all begi? idden in the names of English towns and villages, in copses, fields, lanes and hills, are the ghostly traces of birds conjuring powerful identities for people in ancient landscapes. What are their stories and secrets? How did people encounter birds over a thousand years ago? In The Cuckoo’s Lea, Michael J. Warren sets out on the trail of these ghosts. Captivated and guided by the secrets of place names, he finds their stories entangled with his own explorations of places through birds all across England. The past is hauntingly and movingly present on timeless marshes where curlews cry, where goshawks are breeding again for the first time in centuries, through silent cuckoo-woods lost under concrete sprawl, in the winter roosts of corvids and an owl village that vanished centuries ago. Weaving together early literature, history and ornithology, this book takes readers on a journey far into the past to contemplate the nature of place and to discover a fascinating heritage that matters deeply to us now when so many places and their birds are threatened or already gone.

Bird Dog Days, Wingshooting Ways


An expanded edition of Rutledge's stories on game-bird hunting and devoted canine companions Archibald Rutledge has long been recognized as one of the finest sporting scribes this country has ever produced. A prolific writer who specialized in stories on nature and hunting, over the course of a long and prolific career Rutledge produced more than fifty books of poetry and prose, held the position of South Carolina's poet laureate for thirty-three years, and garnered numerous honorary degrees and prizes for his writings. In this revised and expanded edition of Bird Dog Days, Wingshooting Ways, noted outdoor writer Jim Casada draws together Rutledge's stories on the southern heartland, deer hunting, turkey hunting, and Carolina Christmas hunts and traditions. This collection, first published in 1998, turns to Rutledge's writings on two subjects near and dear to his heart that he understood with an intimacy growing out of a lifetime of experience—upland bird hunting and hunting dogs. Its contents range from delightful tales of quail and grouse hunts to pieces on special dogs and some of their traits. Bird Dog Days, Wingshooting Ways also includes a long fictional piece, "The Odyssey of Bolio," which shows that Rutledge's literary mastery extended beyond simple tales for outdoorsmen.

Conversaciones con pajaros


Una exploración de la comunicación con los pájaros y las lecciones que pueden ensenarnos• Discute técnicas específicas del habla de los pájaros y ofrece revelaciones sobre muchas especies• Revisa la larga tradición de la “aviterapia” a través de la historia y en la literatura y las artes• Explica cómo hablar con los pájaros a través de sus cantos restablece la paz, calma la ansiedad y mejora la saludDurante décadas, Alan Powers ha estudiado las vocalizaciones de los pájaros, desarrollando la notable habilidad de imitar sus cantos y lograr que respondan y hasta cambien de tono. A lo largo de sus anos de estudio, ha descubierto que las aves pueden ensenarnos importantes lecciones sobre el mundo y sobre nosotros mismos. Como explica Powers, al crear una comunidad entre especies nos acercamos a una red atemporal de interconexión con toda la vida pasada y presente, lo que Giordano Bruno, filósofo del Renacimiento, llamó en latín Uni-versus, el “Todo convertido en Uno”. Al compartir su experiencia en el aprendizaje del habla de los pájaros y sus amplias observaciones sobre las influencias poéticas, espirituales y sanadoras de sus cantos, Powers explora su antiguo lenguaje y la profundidad de su significado. Explica que, para nosotros, hablar con las aves es como entonar una canción, aunque sus trinos están llenos de urgencias y matices, ya sea que se expresen sobre predadores o sobre el clima. Detalla cómo empezó a descubrir el habla de los pájaros, escuchando uno solo cada verano, para aprender sus muchas vocalizaciones y variaciones. Al discutir técnicas específicas, comparte revelaciones sobre la comunicación de muchas especies, incluyendo el discurso complejo e inteligente de los cuervos, la profundidad emocional de las gavias, la mímica de los arrendajos azules y el bello canto del tordo de madera. Powers explora la metafísica involucrada en el lenguaje de los pájaros y los humanos, y revisa la larga tradición de la aviterapia a través de la historia, la literatura y las artes. Además, comparte la presencia de pájaros en los poemas de Shakespeare y Emily Dickinson y en canciones de amor de todo el mundo, y examina cómo escritores famosos—de la altura de Keats, Catulo, san Francisco de Asís y el historiador francés Jules Michelet—encontraron que hablar con aves mejoraba sus estados mentales. Asimismo, explica que hablar con el lenguaje canoro de los pájaros puede restablecer la paz, calmar la ansiedad y mejorar la salud.

Nature Needs You


LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR CONSERVATION 2025'Reading Hannah’s story, compellingly told, you will fall in love with these increasingly endangered birds, true masters of the sky.’ Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE ?The inspirational story of a bird lover who became a nature-warrior in a David v Goliath battle to save swifts from extinction.  Nature Needs You tells the compelling story of how Hannah, without campaigning experience, funding or contacts, set out to save swifts from extinction in the UK. Her mission is to change the law and make ‘swift bricks’ mandatory so that the birds who nest in our walls will have a future in Britain. Nature Needs You delves into the highs and lows of trying to win hearts and minds, grab the news agenda with her naked Feather Speech, win Caroline Lucas and Lord Zac Goldsmith’s support, navigate meetings with Secretaries of State and debates in the Houses of Parliament, survive the trolling and midnight self-doubt and raise a petition with the requisite 100,000 signatures for a Parliamentary debate. At stake, with a decline in numbers of over 60% since 1995, are the birds who have become our symbol of summer, the swifts screaming in the skies above us. Steeped in love for the wild, by a talented writer, Nature Needs You is a clarion call to save the nature on our doorsteps and to prove that passion can be a superpower in bringing change to nature-depleted Britain. Raw, funny, self-deprecating and unstoppable in turn, this is nature writing with the pace of a thriller. Hannah is now knocking at the door of the new Labour Secretary of State for Housing, in the hope that, where Rishi Sunak and Michael Gove failed, Angela Rayner and Matthew Pennycook will save our swifts. ‘I applaud Hannah’s book; her inner steel and her sassy take on conservation are inspiring. I am so heartened that there are courage-driven young women holding nature in the light so that it WILL be seen by the powerful.’ Mary Colwell, author of Curlew Moon ‘This book might make you scream. It is the story of a fight that started with a promise to a small bird. It is about bird spirit and the spirit of a very singular human. Hannah Bourne-Taylor has a searing eye for both truth and charlatans.‘ Keggie Carew, author of Beastly ‘A wonderful book that will make you furious, hopeful and inspired by turns. Buy it, read it and then become an activist yourself.’ Roger Morgan-Grenville, author of Shearwaters
