From the author of Wild Child and A Wild Child’s Book of Birds comes A Wild Child's Guide to Nature at Night: the perfect guide for aspiring naturalists.
Join the brilliant Dara McAnulty, winner of the Wainwright Prize for Diary of a Young Naturalist, as he shows you how to explore nature at night. This beautiful, informative gift book is illustrated in full colour by Barry Falls.
Prepare to embark on a night-time adventure, learning how to use all your senses to experience the wonders that unfold at night. Journey through five different habitats in Britain and Ireland - meet hedgehogs and moths in the garden; bats, owls, foxes and badgers in the woodland; corncrakes and dormice in the countryside; pine martens, glow-worms and mountain hares in the heathlands; and the animals that live as constellations in our sky.
Full of fantastic facts about nocturnal animals, activities on how to spot them and ways that we can protect the natural world around us. Once you understand just how amazing our beautiful planet is, you will want to do everything you can to protect it.
