It’s in there, honest. Sure, there’s a lot of foliage. In fact it’s mostly foliage. But the keen observer will find a turquoise blob in the middle. That’s the kingfisher.

Please enjoy this amazing photograph of a kingfisher

Just heard a chiffchaff singing which is lovely and everything but bloody hell it’s November

The cover of Taking Flight. Stylised illustrations of a selection of flying things against a pastel background of blues and greens.

The cover of Light Rains Sometimes Fall. A pastel collage of seasonal urban nature (cherry tree in blossom, magpie, swifts, autumn leaves, urban fox etc).

A cope of Into The Tangled Bank (its cover a collage of nature things (butterfly, flowers, birds, binoculars etc) nestled (yes, NESTLED) in leaves and grass.

The cover of Why Do Birds Suddenly Disappear? White background, title etc and various quotes saying how brilliant it is. To the right the rear half of a goldcrest disappearing out of view (the back cover has the other half of the bird).
