FOOTPRINTS IN THE WOODS (HB)

John Lister-Kaye's account of a year spent observing the comings and goings of otters, beavers, badgers, weasels and pine martens at Aigas, the conservation and field study centre he calls home. Hours of careful waiting and watching in the woods and loch, the river, fields and moorland is rewarded with insight into how these animals live when unhindered by human interference: sometimes red in tooth and claw, but often playful, familial, curious and surprising.
