Reviews

I liked this book a lot, and it made me think about revisiting some sites to which I haven’t been for years. -- Mark Avery, author and environmental campaigner This is a fantastic production by Pelagic with Simon's photography making even a northerner like me think of travelling down to see this amazing area! Duncan's words add to the story, from its ancient history to the modern day, and of course focusing on its wildlife. -- John Miles * Bird Watching Magazine *

Author Information

Simon Stirrup lives on the edge of the Fens with his wife and son. He has a degree in Zoology and is a retired computer consultant. He has been a keen birdwatcher and wildlife enthusiast all his life. He is widely travelled but in recent years has focused on the UK, particularly the Cambridgeshire Fens. Simon’s photography has been used by numerous publications and organisations, including British Birds, National Geographic, the National Trust and the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust. Duncan Poyser grew up in the Vale of York, before moving to the Fens a quarter of a century ago. An obsessive interest in birds from early childhood led to an ecology-based degree, and a teaching qualification followed. After a year working in New Zealand schools, he wandered globally for several more. Returning to the UK, he worked as an ecological consultant in the Scottish Highlands and Outer Hebrides before settling back in the Fens. Fenland Nature is Duncan’s first book.
