I too enjoyed The Big Year, and even sought out the film at the Curzon in London - we were the only two there! There seems to be an increase in the natural history book genre of late. You`ve probably read, or are aware of them already, but some of the recent ones I`ve enjoyed so far this year are as follows: Coastlines by Patrick Barkham, The Running Hare by John Lewis-Stempel, Mountains of the Mind by Robert Macfarlane (this guy is a genius, he could make the telephone directory interesting!)and Claxton by Mark Cocker (in progress, a good bathroom book as lots of short, snappy entries). I`m loving your flower exploits by the way. Cheers, Paul Paul Troddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532050770282573211noreply@blogger.com
