An Oxford naturalist follows the birds from college quad to Alpine meadow and back to a midland village. Warde Fowler writes of autumn rooks, spring song, and the June Alps with learning worn lightly and affection worn openly. Classic English bird writing. Spend a full year in the company of birds and the man who loved them.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
