Description

The New Season Begins: A Celebration of Winter and its Most Iconic Bird. As winter approaches, one of the most evocative signs of the season's arrival is the return of huge flocks of geese to the UK. For Stephen Rutt, this marked the start of an extraordinary journey as he explored the lives and habits of these magnificent birds. From his new home in Dumfries to his childhood haven in the south, Rutt delves into the world of the most common species of goose in the UK. Tracing their migrations and habitats, Rutt reveals the fascinating place geese hold in British culture, history, and even on the festive table. This book takes you on a vivid tour of the landscapes these birds inhabit, celebrating the short days, varied weathers, and long nights of winter as they share our home with large, startling, garrulous, and cooperative birds. Through his journey, Rutt shares stories of the geese's unique characteristics and their importance in the natural world. With its engaging narrative and insightful exploration, Wintering is a worthwhile read for nature lovers and anyone interested in the wonders of the natural world.
