Badger Experience |
Description | |
The Highland edge is that indefinable
landscape where Highland and Lowland meet, where the last of the high fields and
wooded hills buttress on to the first of the mountains.
Jim Crumley has worked and wandered a patch of the Highland Edge for more than
20 years and it marvellously colours much of his nature writing. His
determination to find badgers and write about them started from the "bliss
of ignorance" but soon progressed. By the merest chance he found that
badgers had returned to the fractured mountainside that they'd been driven
from many years earlier. His encounters with the mountain badgers, and their
neighbouring eagles and ospreys are described with careful precision and
loving care. |
Summary |
|
Another superb book about the "badger
experience". A very good description of how badgers can be seen by chance and
end up taking over your life. |
