It was great to chat with Michael J Warren, author of ‘The Cuckoo's Lea ’.
Shortlisted for this year’s #WainwrightPrize for Nature Writing, the book traces the lost connections between English place names and the species of birds that used to occupy these locations.

Michael J. Warren takes us to Bury Barton in mid-Devon, a hillside steeped in history, and the setting for the final scene of his book, where he waits at dusk for the corvid roost.

"Your writing is a beautiful reflection of you, insightful, eclectically factual, poetic without any trace of Pseuds Corner, flowing and easy on the eye as well as good food for the brain. But being humble about the real determination and self discipline that’s needed to do these solo hikes AND get the words out afterwards." Review of The Gathering Place. Thank you Doug.
