Publisher's Synopsis

Includes photographs of birds, mammals, reptiles, insects and plants in an oakwood which is now managed as a nature reserve. This book looks at an oakwood which hides a startling number of habitats whose interlinked complexities mirror the delicate balance of our increasingly threatened wildlife heritage. The images are accompanied by informative captions, essays on each of the four seasons, and an introduction on the history and ecology of English oakwods. Stephen Dalton is the photographer of "Bourne on the Wind", "The Miracle of Flight", "Caught in Motion" and "Split Second".
