A similar talk to 'Birding through a lens' but dealing with a wide variety of wildlife found in the UK.It is a ‘must have’ for everyone with a general interest in insects and I’m sure it will sneak into the libraries of quite a few seasoned experts too! The excitement is condensed into a single presentation, the ups and downs, some exhilarating bird watching moments and an attempt to see 250 species in a year without really trying (much).

With 23 trips under my belt (13 of them during the August seabird passage season) I have plenty of images and stories to tell from my time on MV Sapphire!This will help to expand your knowledge and steer you to a successful and accurate identification of the ‘unknown’ species you are agonising over! is to put at your disposal the most comprehensive single text yet produced for British insects, packed with key up-to-the-minute data and with 2,600 superb images of nearly 1500 species.

It’s the only one I will need to take with me on holidays and insect-spotting trips and ganders in the countryside.Paul Brock has possibly done more to change how we see, recognise, grasp, understand, and, therefore, care about insects than any one else in Britain. However, when the bar is raised to a group like ‘insects’,readers could be forgiven for wondering if the WILDGuides had taken a step too far. If a field guide can become the conduit by which the reader becomes familiar with many of the major groups and on that journey generate a sense of excitement, those “WOW, that is amazing” moments, then it is a success.
