Recognising his perspective on life was slipping following his mother's untimely death, Charlie turned to the rhythms of the natural world for comfort and solace - in particular its birds. He found that through reconnecting with the wildlife all around him, the grief that once felt insurmountable he could now overcome.

His memoir is a heartfelt ode to the birds that helped him through the darkest of times, exploring in beautiful, lyrical detail this journey of rediscovery, and shows us there is joy to be found in the smallest of events, if we know where to look, and to listen.

A lyrical and life-affirming book that teaches us as much about birds as it does ourselves - a balm for the soul

Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path

About Charlie Corbett

Charlie Corbett is a freelance writer, journalist and public speaker. He comes from a family of livestock and arable farmers and spent his childhood divided between farms on the North Wessex Downs and The Isle of Mull.

Having studied history at the University of Edinburgh he turned away from his farming roots and spent the next 20 years reporting on business and finance from cities all over the world. But he remained, at heart, a country boy. He lives today at the foot of the Pewsey Downs in Wiltshire with his wife, two sons, and a field full of skylarks.
