Renowned nature writer Jim Crumley gets up close and personal with some of Britain's most iconic and loved animals and birds. With his inimitable passion and vision, Jim describes some of his most memorable encounters with British wildlife - and reveals the startling ways they continually adapt to the relentless encroachment of humans on their habitats. With the addition of two new titles, 'Kingfisher' and 'Otter,' joining the much-praised 'Barn Owl,' 'Fox,' 'Swan,' 'Badger,' 'Skylark' and 'Hare,' this delightful series not only offers insights into the creatures' secret lives, but also considers the conservation efforts to protect them and how the future looks for these much loved animals.
