all it a daily meditation on the world around us for naturelovers and nature newbies alike. An ‘Irish Nature Year’ gleefully explores the small mysteries of the seasons as they unfold – Who’s cutting perfect circles in your roses? Which birds wear feathery trousers? And what, exactly, is an amethyst deceiver? An ‘Irish Nature Year’ is an illustrated day book filled with plants, animals, birds and creepycrawlies from all over the island of Ireland. With

From ‘weeds’ in the pavement cracks and surprising inhabitants of vacant lots, to unusual finds along our shoreline and hedgerows, you’ll find more of the natural world to admire right under your nose and relish the little things that mark the passing of the seasons across the ever-changing Irish landscape.
