Description
At the Water's Edge A Walk in the Wild by John Lister-Kaye For over thirty years, John Lister-Kaye has walked the same circular route from his home in a Scottish glen to a small hill loch. Each day brings new observations and unexpected encounters - a fragile spider's web, an osprey struggling to lift a trout from the water, or a woodcock exquisitely camouflaged on her nest. These moments of connection with nature have been recorded in a journal, which has now been distilled into this book. Drawing on his lifetime of close observation, Lister-Kaye encourages us to look again at the natural world around us. He invites us to discover its wildness for ourselves and to respect and protect it. Through his writing, we gain a deeper understanding of the intricate relationships between living things and their environments. This book is a reflection on the beauty and complexity of nature, and our place within it. It is a reminder that even in the most familiar surroundings, there is always the potential for discovery and wonder.
