For the last 30 years John Lister-Kaye, one of Britain's best-known nature writers, has taken the same circular walk from his home deep in a Scottish glen up to a small hill loch. Each day brings a new observation or an unexpected encounter - a fragile spider's web, an osprey struggling to lift a trout from the water or a Woodcock exquisitely camouflaged on her nest - and every day, on his return home he records his thoughts in a journal.
At The Water's Edge, is a collection of these wonderful wildlife encounters.
