This is a great book. Really transcends the "nature writing" genre and veers into far more profound territory. Another tale of man and bird with a decidedly morbid and sinister bent is The Cormorant by Stephen Gregory. It's also a fantastic isolation read.

My grandma gave me a copy of this years ago signed by Werner Herzog. My father grew up in Essex, so I’d often go out for walks in the countryside with my grandparents as a kid. So when I read it I couldn’t help but feel a lot of affinity towards the text...

Going to be reading this just because I want to see if it's a better non fiction read than A Kind of Magic by Edna Ferber.
