About the book: When Adam Nicolson discovered a field near his home overrun by brambles and thickets, he had no idea that his relationship with nature was about to change. Bird School follows his discovery of the incredible diversity of birds around us, and his attempt to engage with their habits, following them through season after season of fighting, mating, nesting and feeding. The book reveals a hidden layer of nature all around us, from town to city, and invites the reader to engage with the rhythms of the avian world.
