Wilding: How to Bring Wildlife Back - An Illustrated Guide by Isabella Tree & ANGELA HARDING is one of the most inspiring and uplifting books I’ve read so far this year. Thank you Macmillan Children's Books Clare Hall-Craggs
My review for Just Imagine here:

Cryptic plumage wasn’t good enough for one unfortunate Wryneck Fair Isle Bird Obs - predated by a raptor at North Light. Amazingly intricate and varied feather patterns on these birds!

'The Auricula in its Natural Habitat' - colour plate from Samuel Curtis's 1820 publication 'The Beauties of Flora'. The artist was probably Clara Maria Pope (1767-1838), whose work Curtis admired for its beauty and accuracy.

‘If you’re prepared to put yourself out there, to be uncomfortable, be vulnerable, do all the hard work, just because you love something, then you will be absolutely amazed about what happens’.

And Scarce Swallowtail and other members of the papilionid family from W F Kirby's Butterflies & Moths of Europe (1903)

'I find great inspiration in the way mornings, evenings or bright midday light changes the way we see the things around us. The bouncing light of a cloud-filled storm sky can change a seascape through a palette of blues, greys, & turquoises.'
