Gods of the Morning

A lyrical celebration of the British countryside from one of our best-known nature writers

Reviews

Lister-Kaye uses his observations as a springboard to a wide range of topic, some general and others highly personal . . . Birds feature most prominently. The author describes in vivid detail his encounters with a female Blackcap on the nest and a male Merlin surveying the glen at dawn. But it's not all about the birds. We also read about migrating money spiders, the author's Jack Russells, Roe Deer, how Pine Martens have returned to the Highlands and much more . . . This is a lyrical, even beautiful, exploration of Highlands wildlife
