Wintering - A Season with Geese - CANCELLED

Stephen Rutt is a 27-year-old writer, birder and naturalist. His first book, the award-winning The Seafarers, earned him a Roger Deakin Award. It was born during the seven months he spent at the bird observatory on North Ronaldsay in the Orkneys and is a memoir describing his interaction with the seabird colonies around the coast of Britain. In his second book, Wintering: A Season with Geese, he applies his expert eye and traces in clear, elegant prose the lives and habits of six of the most common species of goose that winter in the UK. He also studies the place of the goose in culture and history.
