Chris Packham's Back Garden Nature Reserve

Chris Packham's informative and lively text is complemented by attractive photographs and illustrations that will encourage an interest in the natural world on your doorstep, whether your 'garden' is a rural idyll or an urban window box. Chris argues that we have become so spellbound by 'nature's celebrities'—tigers, pandas and their ilk—that we are in danger of overlooking the most exciting species of all: those that we can touch, smell and observe in our own backyard.
