John Wright | A Spotters Guide to The Countryside
A Spotter’s Guide to the Countryside by acclaimed British naturalist John Wright is an entertaining and beautifully illustrated guide to the mysterious features we encounter while exploring the countryside. Wright investigates fifty natural and man-made puzzles, revealing the fascinating stories, practical purposes and natural processes behind things that even experienced walkers may have noticed without fully understanding.
Moving through fields, woods and seashores, Wright examines everything from curious plant growths and puzzling woodland sights to distinctive features of the landscape shaped by generations of human activity. Informative without becoming overly technical, the book combines natural history with wit, observation and a genuine enthusiasm for discovery. With full-colour illustrations throughout, it is an ideal companion for anyone who enjoys walking, exploring the British countryside or simply stopping to ask, “What is that?”
