Customer Reviews

on a level with "Tarka the Otter"

a really terrific book. even for one such as myself pretty alergic to nature fiction. The author's identification with his bird protagonist is fabulous.really worth a look.

you'll never look at a bird the same way after reading it !

A fantastic book in the great tradition of nature writing by an author who has the gift to offer us a sensitive story about the life of a bird seen through the hardship and the pleasure of a year ... the story of the bird is also the story of the valley where it lives and the story of the world where we live.
