Human, Nature

The judges of Bird Book of the Year 2021 enjoyed the straight-talking and balanced approach taken by the author in addressing issues that others may have skirted. Ian’s personal knowledge around the complexities of many of the subjects shines through, as does his personal passion and love for the natural world. Since the book is part autobiographical, part philosophical and part practical, the judges felt that every reader would find something here that they were interested in – or something they didn’t know.
