Shortlisted for the James Cropper Wainwright Prize for Children's Writing on Nature & Conservation 2023

Join brilliant young naturalist Dara McAnulty - winner of the 2020 Wainwright Prize for his book Diary of a Young Naturalist and author of Wild Child - on a journey through a year in the life of birds.

Find out what birds do in each season, learn about birdsong, beaks, nests and eggs, the science of flight, migration, what to grow to attract different birds to your garden and what foods to put out on your bird table.
