WATCHING WILDLIFE (IN THE MOMENT) (PB)

It is a special privilege to observe a wild animal hunting, interacting with its young or its mate, exploring its habitat, or escaping a predator. To watch wildlife, it’s essential not only to learn an animal’s ways, the times and places you may find it, but also to look inward: to station yourself, focus, and wait. Jim Crumley, one of Scotland's pre-eminent nature writers, draws on his decades of experience to show how we can learn to watch wildlife well, and what doing so can mean for our ability to care for it, and care for ourselves.
