The Seabird's Cry

From the author of The Sea Room, this is a love-letter to the Shiant Islands in the Outer Hebrides, celebrating their natural world. It tells the story of the seabirds - puffins, gannets and other ocean voyagers - and the pattern of their lives, their habitats, the threats they face and the passions they inspire.

Adam Nicholson evokes the poetry and landscapes in this beautiful look at the coastal world that we both abuse and treasure, showing seabirds as a vital barometer of human life on Earth.
