Ireland's Wildlife Year

01st October 2011
Another year, another book it seems. But this time I only played a small contributing role and I had the pleasure to work with some brilliant minds like Eric Dempsey, Billy Clarke, Tom Hayden and - again - Declan Doogue. Here is what it's all about:

Ireland's Wildlife Year is a superbly illustrated survey of the four seasons in the Irish natural environment. It traces the development of plants and trees, the movements of birds and animals and the changing face of the Irish landscape over one calendar year.

There is nothing understated about the seasonal changes in Ireland. This book, driven by the stunning nature photography of Billy Clarke, Eric Dempsey and Carsten Krieger, tracks those changes as they affect plants, trees and shrubs, bird and animal life, the general landscape and the natural environment. Contributors are outstanding experts in their fields. Eric Dempsey writes about birds; Declan Doogue about flora; and Professor Tom Hayden of UCD about fauna.


The book is the perfect Christmas present, can be pre-ordered at Amazon and will be in the shops soon.
