Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wild Life at the Land's End: Observations of the Habits and Haunts of the Fox, Badger, Otter, Seal, Hare, and of Their Pursuers in Cornwall
In these valleys bird-life is rich. Ou a spit of sand you may chance on the footprints of an otter, Whose harbour by day is some rocky holt along the cliffs; Where the blackthorns are densest you may come across a badger's earth, and see the paths he has trodden in going to and fro. This creature is very plentiful - as plentiful indeed as the hare is scarce. Generally he shares the same earth With the fox. Ou the north coast the seal shows no sign of decrease thanks to its tireless vigilance, and the inaccessible caves it frequents.
