Description
Call of the Kingfisher is a love letter to a short stretch of Northamptonshire's River Nene, celebrating the wild things that live there, especially the kingfishers. The book is accompanied by bonus audio content, accessed via QR codes, featuring high-quality birdsong recordings made alongside the River Nene.
Author Nick Penny has spent four decades walking beside the river at Oundle, but for a whole year, he gave the waterway its full attention. The result is a year by the river, woven with the author's experiences, encounters with the local community, and explorations of the valley's history and landscape.
The book is a unique blend of natural history, local history, and personal reflection, set against the stunning backdrop of the River Nene. With its focus on the kingfisher and the sounds of the natural environment, Call of the Kingfisher is a must-have for anyone who loves birds, nature, and the great outdoors.
