AT THE WATERS EDGE: A WALK IN THE WILD (CANONGATE)

For the last thirty years John Lister-Kaye has taken the same circular walk from his home deep in a Scottish glen up to a small hill loch. Each day brings a new observation or an unexpected encounter - a fragile spider's web, an osprey struggling to lift a trout from the water or a woodcock exquisitely camouflaged on her nest - and every day, on his return home, he records his thoughts in a journal. Drawing on this lifetime of close observation, this book encourages us to look again at the nature around us, to discover its wildness for ourselves and to respect and protect it.
