About This Book

A naturalist's account of west Cornwall's coastal headland and surrounding moorland that blends travel impressions with careful field observations. The author records seasonal changes, weather events, and the behaviors of seabirds, songbirds, and other wildlife, alongside sketches of fishing villages, farms, hedgerows, and rural people. Chapters move between intimate visits to shores, descriptions of flora and early spring flowers, notes on local customs and humor, and reflections on how climate and landscape shape both animal life and human livelihoods.
