Wild Treasures
A Year of Extraordinary Encounters with Cornwall's Wildlife
Hannah Stitfall New Hardback Illustrated
Postscript summary
In this month-by-month guide zoologist and Springwatch presenter Hannah Stitfall offers a tour of her home county’s wildlife. From a rare short-eared owl one New Year evening; through brown hares boxing in the March fields; puffins on the wind-lashed cliffs in April; glow-worms in the dunes on the summer solstice; and red deer clashing antlers on the moors in autumn, she shares her experiences across a variety of landscapes.
Product information
Full publisher description
'This is Stitfall in spadefuls; she celebrates the ragged corner of the UK and all its natural treasures. So refreshing!' - Chris Packham
'A joyful, heartwarming and important read for nature lovers!' - Megan McCubbin
Get up close to Cornwall's wildlife with this magical guide to the year
Hannah Stitfall is a TV presenter and zoologist, who regularly gets up in the early hours of the morning to try and catch sight of some of Cornwall's best hidden wildlife. She will spend hours on end waiting for a creature to appear among a hedgerow, scurrying across Cornwall's open fields or taking flight across its towering cliffs and sandy beaches. In these brief, magical moments, Hannah is able to see and capture animal behaviour that the general public rarely get to witness.
In this book, Hannah shares her incredible stories, beautiful photographs and often funny meetings with Cornwall's wildlife through the course of a year. From brown hares boxing in the grass in the spring, watching an otter cub hunt in the wetlands in winter, to witnessing the unique bioluminescence of a glow-worm in the summer, Wild Treasures is a remarkable diary, informative guide and joyous celebration of our nation's wonderful creatures.
