Professional ornithologists and ardent bird lovers alike will treasure this delightful account of the little-known whinchat. A passionate life-long observer of this shy little bird, Steve has spent summers for the past forty years observing, monitoring and drawing it. Keen observation skills and endless patience have resulted in a unique biography of this charming little bird, as well as poetic descriptions of the Monmouthshire moorland and mountains. A retired countryside ranger in the Brecon Beacons National Park, he is renowned as the leading expert in this often-forgotten tiny creature, featuring in articles, films and studies. But this book is no scholarly tome but a delight to read for anyone with an interest in our countryside, nature and conservation, written as it is with passionate, lyrical prose. Details of the lifestyle and habits of this unassuming, yet fascinating, small bird sit side by side with lyrical descriptions of the author's intimate knowledge of Monmouthshire hillside and moorland. Recommended by nature experts such as Iolo Williams (BBC Wales naturalist and TV presenter) and Dr Stephanie Tyler MBE, ornithologist, zoologist, naturalist, conservationist and author. With beautiful photographs and line drawings by the author, Whinchat Ridge is sure to captivate every reader.
