WILD NIGHTS OUT

'The Magic of Exploring the Outdoors After Dark' offers grown-ups, children and anyone in between an invitation to a whole new dimension of life, exploring and nature spotting even when the sun goes down. There are challenges to try, ideas and guidance and games to play in the dusk and dark as we explore a time of new creatures, celestial bodies, new sights, sounds and smells. Chris Salisbury brings a nocturnal dimension to life with lore about badgers, bats and minibeasts as well as tales of the constellations and planets to share around the campfire. He teaches us to use our hawk eyes, use sense meditation, behave like a bloodhound, take a barefoot walk, tree ID, print ID, and accounting sounds. As we get attuned try deer stalking, learn about hunters, predators and prey, small mammals, owls and voles, owl calling, bats and moths, foxes, and the nocturnal soundscape. Learn to map the constellations and join other night watchers, take a nighttime paddle or a seashore experience for a cosmic dance. And it is all free! 208pp in well illustrated paperback.
