Wildlife wanderings

Four years of dedicated work have resulted in this book of stunning photo; accompanying the images are Bailey’s personal observations and vibrant stories from the light-hearted to the occasionally controversial. There are vivid descriptions – of elation when capturing a quality image after many hours of waiting, often in the freezing cold; to the frustration of the weather turning against him after spending weeks tempting pine martens using boiled eggs and strawberry jam! The four chapters follow the seasons, each section featuring the species you can expect to find during that period of the year, from winter migrants, those who hibernate or are nocturnal, to our all year-round residents. Easy reading for all ages and backgrounds, the images alone tell their own story, ‘Wildlife Wanderings’ also includes advice about field craft and camera techniques for the budding naturalist and photographer.
