Wild Air by James Macdonald Lockhart

Wild Air is a journey through the British Isles in search of birdsong - from a nightjar's strange churring song on a heath in the south of England, to a lapwing displaying over the machair in the Outer Hebrides.  Sometimes, James Macdonald Lockahart hears a lot, and sees little (shearwaters in the pitch dark); sometimes sees a lot, but hears little (black-throated divers on their loch).  But in every case the sounds the birds make become an introduction to their lives - an audible introduction to the birds and the places they are found.
