Beginning with the first signs of Spring we find a countryside we all know well yet many rarely see in close-up, or as seasonal changes occur to some of the wild plants and creatures.

North Devon has a mix of habitats. Rivers, streams and estuary, farmland, woods and marshes, moorland and coast, all beautiful, all different, and providing a richness and diversity of wildlife that makes nature watching a lifelong pursuit and pastime for all ages.

Trevor Beer, known to thousands through his Western Morning News columns, acts as friend and guide to lead the reader on a journey of discovery into the vistas which characterise the area to discover its remarkable wildlife, including over two hundred full colour photographs.
