Join award-winning writer Jon Gower for the launch of ‘Birdland’ A Journey Around Britain on the Wing.

In Birdland, Jon Gower looks to Britain’s skies and our intimate connection with the bird life around us.
From forests in England and beaches of Wales up to the highlands of Scotland, Jon goes in search of his favourite and most prized finds at some of the best birdwatching spots in Britain, following the sounds and sights of the corncrake, peregrine falcon, turtle dove, great bustard, and more.
But all is not well in Birdland. Over the last 50 years, the countryside has seemingly emptied and in many ways fallen silent. Examining the future
from a bird’s-eye view, Gower considers the effects of the climate emergency, the decline in biodiversity, and the work being done to
mitigate these changes and bring birdsong back to our skies.
Providing a beautiful tour of Britain under the wings of an expert and wildlife-lover, Birdland is a celebration of birds and their being, and a call to arms to defend them.
