Captivating picture of Scotland's wilderness in Spring.
Nature writer Jim Crumley paints a captivating picture of Scotland's wilderness in Spring and the joys of observing its abundant wildlife.
In his observations, the staccato, jazzily-inventive sound of the mistle thrush singing for a mate acts as a harbinger of Spring while kestrels hover over the Stirlingshire hills and peregrine falcons act out their courtship.
A majestic sea eagle with its vast wingspan swoops incongruously over the Lowland hills and a peregrine starts to mimic the eagle's flight pattern.
He visits Colonsay and Shetland, where he encounters cuckoos, snipe, eiders, oystercatchers, choughs, yellow hammers, starlings, corncrakes, red-throated divers and some basking grey seals into the bargain.
And he takes in the fertile small island of Lismore in Loch Linnhe.
There is no shortage of wildlife from sandpipers, greenshanks and black-throated divers to ospreys, woodcock and greenfinches not to mention a pine marten crossing paths with a vixen.
Omnibus of five poetic vignettes read by Simon Tait.
