Wild Hares and Hummingbirds
The village of Mark on the Somerset Levels is a watery wonderland, rich in wildlife: rooks and roe deer; sparrows and snowdrops; buzzards, badgers and butterflies; the iconic brown hare and the spectacular hummingbird hawk-moth. This title is both the story of a small corner of the West Country and a celebration of the natural world.
A Natural History of Selbourne for a new generation - nature-writing at its finest, expressed through the natural history of one very special place.

Description
A Natural History of Selbourne for a new generation - nature-writing at its finest, expressed through the natural history of one very special place.
Join celebrated naturalist Stephen Moss, host of the award-winning BBC series Springwatch and author of The Robin, for a year in the idyllic village of Mark on the Somerset Levels - a watery wonderland rich in nature and wildlife, from birds to butterflies to badgers.
As the year unfolds, Moss transports the reader to the entrancing landscape of flora and fauna that accompanies the dawn of each month. Deeply informative and profoundly inspiring, Wild Hares and Hummingbirds is a celebration of the Great British countryside, animals, and the natural world.
'Moss captures the flora and the fauna of his Somerset home with a grace and charm to warm the coldest winter night' - Independent
