“I really love this delightful, upbeat book”
– multi-award-winning nature writer Mark Cocker
“Lovely book….utterly charming, and infectious in its enthusiasm. An inspiration to those seeking to connect more closely with the wildlife on their doorstep. I really enjoyed it, and liked the quirky humour. Humour is something which is sometimes lacking in books about nature”
– Award-winning nature writer Neil Ansell
“My missus loves your wonderful book, Gerry, couldn’t put it down. Her mum had been really poorly for her last few months with us; so she used to read your book to mum, sitting for hours just reading it to her, that will have such wonderful memories for her.”
