Writing a book takes so much of you, and then you release it into a world full of influencers and noise, and *whispers* you wonder whether anyone will read it, never mind whether it’ll have an impact. But just one email like this makes it all worthwhile.

In the spirit of Christmas (and seeing as I’m new here) I thought I’d host a little #giveaway. For the chance to win* a signed copy of my book, Wild City, which came out in paperback this year:

1. Share this post
2. Comment with your favourite wild species that you’ve spotted in an urban setting!

Not in any way procrastinating today making Christmas wreaths when I’ve got a mountain of work to do…

But recently the vet started prescribing her human grade Gabapentin, and after a dose of Gabby P, she’s having a lovely old time - so much so that she’ll even let us groom her. So no more shaves for Bee. As a grand old dame of 13, this is good news all round.

There are only two things Bee seems to enjoy. Sleeping, and staring at a bush in our garden.

When we got our dog, Fox, this only served to enrage Bee further. This picture encapsulates their differing personalities pretty perfectly.

Here is another picture of Bee after a particularly egregious haircut.

Bee used to have to go to the vets a lot because she wouldn’t allow us to groom her. So we would have to pay hundreds of pounds each year to have her anaesthetised and shaved. She would come home looking like this.

Happy Friday from everyone except our cat Bee, who I think deserves her own introduction to this platform.

Bee is perpetually furious. She has an ASBO at the vets, where they euphemistically describe her as “spicy”.

Happy Thursday from this ever so slightly windswept London #pigeon

I love them! Took this shot recently in Richmond Park. But truth is, even for those who don’t like them, the genie is out of the bottle now. They’re here to stay.

So far my timeline is filled with

✅ nature
✅ book chat

And delightfully devoid of

❌ bile
❌ biogtry
❌ hot takes

So here’s a hind, and two jackdaws.

Joining the great migration… Here’s a recent shot of my local pair of Egyptian geese sitting on top of the gas holder park in King’s Cross. #wildlifephotography
