A beautifully written book about a year in an English villiage and the wildlife he encounters month by month. ( ) My enjoyment of this delightful book was certainly enhanced by the fact that we were trying to find birds in Somerset in September. (With very little luck. Everything was much too dry and the waterbirds were off somewhere wetter. Except for the cattle egrets and great egret that posed for comparisons.) Moss is a knowledgable observer and very good writer. Limiting himself mostly to the concentric areas of his garden, his parish, and sometimes the rest of Somerset concentrates his observations and draws us in. The illustrations are a lovely addition to the text. no reviews | add a review
