Stephen Moss – The Wren: a biography
Stephen Moss, one of Britain’s leading nature writers, broadcasters and wildlife television producers discusses his latest book, The Wren.
The wren is a paradox of a bird. On the one hand wrens are ubiquitous, they are Britain’s most common bird, with 8.5 million breeding pairs and have by far the loudest song in proportion to their size. They also thrive up and down Britain and Ireland. Yet many people, particularly a younger generation, are not sure if they have ever seen a wren. However, if we cast our eyes back to recent history wrens were a mainstay of literary, cultural and popular history.
With beautiful illustrations throughout, this captivating year-in-the-life biography reveals the hidden secrets of this fascinating bird that lives right on our doorstep.
