John Lister-Kaye - A leading environmentalist shares the delights of a close look at nature August 25, 2010

Few nature writers capture the glory of the natural world on our doorsteps as succinctly as Sir John Lister-Kaye. Since he transformed a Victorian hunting lodge in Inverness-shire into a field studies centre, Lister-Kaye has walked through its surrounding landscape almost every day. At the Water’s Edge is a meditative account of the sights, smells, details and hidden histories he observes on his regular walk to a small hill loch.
