Shearwater: A Bird, an Ocean, and a Long Way Home

BY ROGER MORGAN-GRENVILLE ICON BOOKS £16.99 ★★★★☆

A beautiful mix of memoir and natural history, Morgan-Grenville explores the life of the majestic shearwater as it travels solo from the British Isles to the waters of the South Atlantic at the tender age of just two weeks old. Morgan-Greenville paints an extraordinary picture of one of nature’s most remarkable, intrepid and mysterious creatures. The author’s fifty-year obsession with this supreme traveller is entirely infectious.
