Just a quick book snap this week, feeling a bit slack. John Lewis-Stemple is one of my favourite nature writers, Meadowland The private life of an English field is a surprisingly compelling account of a year in the life of a sheep paddock and The Running Hare is a just as compelling account of efforts to restore a piece farmland to pristine meadow. I also love the covers on these books. The secret life of the Owl is a short little book, informative and beautifully written not as great as the other titles shown but still a good nature read.
