This is an excellent book. I have the previous version and would say if you buy just one guide to wildlife gardening, it should be this one. It's very practically laid out and gives good rep to insects beyond bees and butterflies. Pleased to see it getting a reprint with endorsement from the RHS.
“…it should be noted that this book is extremely fun. Wimpenny approaches her subjects (whether maggots, otters, cockroaches or humans) with an openhearted tone that manages to be equal parts playful and informative.”
Love this review - informative and fun is exactly what I wanted!
Can’t wait to do this event on 7th May. Come join me! #AuthorTalk #naturewriting #birdsandplace
