My little book is jam packed with magical wonder that I experience when I spend time in nature.

Always exciting to see copies of my book in the wild. But extra exciting to see they've made it to Ohio, USA and Cyprus!

The fall of a small part of a cliff face at Whitby gave an unusual chance to have a look at a sand martin nest. There's a surprising amount of nesting material. Lots of hole-nesting birds don't make a substantial nest. @charliebingham.bsky.social
