A Country Naturalist’s Year by Colvin McElvie

 Based in Dumfriesshire, but not exclusively, we visit the countryside through the seasons in the company of a very knowledgable guide. The book is lavishly illustrated by Rodger McPhail. This is a book to take to Scotland to sit by a log fire and read after a long day on the moors, along the woodland edge or by the river bank. And next day to enjoy looking further afield for all that has been missed: an osprey nest on a Highland river or the wild haunts of peregrine falcons and merlins, perhaps. All becomes possible when these pages are turned and savoured as we long to learn more.
