A Naturalist's Eye

There have been many books about the natural history of Somerset but A Naturalist's Eye is unique in combining an extremely vivid and entertaining account of days spent in the Somerset countryside over the last 20 years with some really special colour photographs taken by Philip Radford himself. Philip, now in his 80s and a Somerset man through and through, records his encounters with nature over the last 20 years in this book, mainly on the Quantocks, the Levels and the Severn Estuary, all written in an engaging and vivid style and accompanied by his own striking colour photographs. Every page is marked by his ability to convey the feel of the events he describes, by the easy manner in which he shares his knowledge and experience, and above all by the affection for his subject that he effortlessly conveys.
