Feathers and Eggshells
The author of Feathers and Eggshells is a teenager with a passion for wild birds. Here Natalie Lawrence takes us on an extended tour of her favourite bird watching area – Hampstead Heath in London – a suburban haven for wildlife, comprising different habitats for birds. From the mating dance of the Great Crested Grebe, to the delicacy of the Treecreeper's beak, she reveals the beauty and diversity of the local bird life, using drawings and photographs, prose and poetry.
Feathers and Eggshells will appeal to all who can relate to a childhood passion and especially those who love birds in a natural setting.
