This book brings together Bill Meek's wildlife columns from the Cleethorpes Chronicle between April 2014 and the paper's demise in August 2017, and creates an unrivalled portrait of the natural history of his home town. He describes the wonders and diversity of our natural heritage in easy to read articles that will delight and entertain anyone with an interest in our environment. Almost every aspect of the natural world is observed and recorded month by month through the year. Examples from the local area abound but the line between local and global themes is effortlessly negotiated. While not overly sentimental in style, the work conveys some uncompromising ecological messages with great balance and insight.
