The Seabird's Cry: The Lives and Loves of Puffins, Gannets and Other Ocean Voyagers by Adam Nicolson, illustrated by Kate Boxer
Seabirds are master navigators, thriving in the most demanding environment on earth—at home in the air, on land and on the sea. In this masterly celebration, acclaimed nature writer Adam Nicolson follows these extraordinary creatures to the wild coasts and remote islands of Scotland, Ireland, Iceland, Norway and the Americas, drawing on the latest research to reveal the full story of their lives, loves, habitats and the profound passions they inspire.
Beautifully illustrated by Kate Boxer, The Seabird's Cry is a window into one of nature's greatest wonders. Yet beneath this celebration lies an urgent warning: seabird numbers have plummeted by two-thirds since 1950, and extinction now stalks the ocean. There is a very real danger that the grand, defiant cry of a seabird colony—that primal voice of the wild—will become nothing more than a memory for future generations. Nicolson's elegant prose and compelling narrative make this both an essential read for ornithologists and nature lovers, and a clarion call for conservation action.
