We’re so obsessed with @jandersonwildlife ’s ‘Wilderness Songs’ we even tried eating it! 🌿

Celebratory cupcakes were very much in order for this very exciting release and with the seasons now well and truly turning we’ve got our ears peeled for the brilliant wildlife sounds of autumn!

🌍 What wonderful wildlife have you noticed since the start of the autumn season?
‘Wilderness Songs’ is available to purchase NOW from www.batsfordbook.com (link in bio) and from all good bookshops.
