WINTERING: A SEASON WITH GEESE (PB)

In the autumn of 2018 Stephen Rutt and his partner moved to a house near the Solway Firth in Dumfries. As they settled into their new home thousands of pink-footed geese were arriving on the Firth from the Arctic Circle to make it their winter home. The author of the Roger Deakin Award-winning book, The Seafarers, traces the lives and habits of five of the most common species of goose in the UK and with an expert eye and clear, elegant prose, he paints perfect portraits of these large, startling, garrulous and cooperative birds.
