Sussex is rich in wildlife, and few naturalists have as broad a knowledge of its birds, beasts and flowers as David Lang. The author of acclaimed books on wild orchids and hedgerow berries, and a popular lecturer on travel and natural history, he here leads us on a month-by-month safari into the countryside he loves.
His vivid photographs are complemented by captions which illuminate, with both wit and erudition, the adaptation of our diverse flora and fauna to the soil, the climate and the activities of the most powerful creature of all, homo sapiens.
