About this listen
'Such a simple, clever book.' Rosemary Goring, The Herald
We're not just losing the wild world. We're forgetting it. We're no longer noticing it. We've lost the habit of looking and seeing and listening and hearing.
But we can make hidden things visible, and this book features 23 spellbinding ways to bring the magic of nature much closer to home.
Mammals you never knew existed will enter your world. Birds hidden in treetops will shed their cloak of anonymity. With a single movement of your hand you can make reptiles appear before you. Butterflies you never saw before will bring joy to every sunny day. Creatures of the darkness will enter your consciousness. And as you take on new techniques and a little new equipment, you will discover new creatures and, with them, new areas of yourself that had gone dormant. Once put to use, they wake up and start working again. You become wilder in your mind and in your heart. Once you know the tricks, the wild world begins to appear before you.
For anyone who wants to get closer to the nature all around them and bring it back into focus, this is the perfect listen.

Good tips on Wildlife watching
A lovely, almost poetic listen.
As a result of this books recommendation, we have booked our summer holiday in Cardigan Bay, for a spot of dolphin watching.

Well worth listening
I really enjoyed this audio book. I consider myself a person who has a reasonable knowledge of our wonderful wildlife. This said there were so many points of interest and excellent tips on how to make wildlife watching even more pleasurable.
The narration was prefect too.
It was well worth the listen. I will certainly listen again.

Loved it
I listened to this book in one hit , on a sunny Good Friday, whilst painting my fence!
It makes nature watching so accessible for anyone, it's not 'snobby ' at all . Some great ideas for getting out there and watching nature in your own way , and some ideas of places to go too. Highly recommended, I am looking forward to my walk in the woods later with my binoculars!

A Treasury of Ideas and Information
I really enjoyed Simon's book. I say that as somebody who has been involved with the countryside for decades and who has held a passion for animals and birds for many years.
I started bird 'watching' over 55 years ago go ... and even with that background of information for British birds, I still found so many points of new information, novelty and interest within these pages.
Finally, I would add that this was so well read in this Audible edition ... measured and with great feeling.

Spells to Tune into Our Natural World
Although I already use some of the strategies Simon covers I still really enjoyed this book, it reminds us to keep connected to nature and to let nature back into us. It’s a book that works across generations, and we need to tune in to our wilder nature both for our own wellbeing and that of our magnificent planet. Well narrated. Thank you Simons.
