A day-by-day account of Britain's wildlife as seen through the eyes of leading Times columnist Derwent May. The book is compiled from May's "Nature Notes" column in The Times and is illustrated throughout with black and white illustrations from artist Peter Brown. Amongst May's observations are the comings and goings of swallows and swifts, the first appearance of bluebells and primroses, and the sightings of March hares, frogs and ladybirds. The perfect companion for all nature-lovers, May eloquently reveals the changing sights and sounds of Britain's cities and countryside throughout the year.
