The Spring Pond: Where Rushes and Sedges Gather by Miriam Darlington
Spring can creep up on us; it’s often easy to miss the early signs that a new season is on the way. In her lyrical evocation of a pond on Dartmoor, leading naturalist Miriam Darlington pays close and loving attention to the quiet changes that take place – from the first shoots of flag iris to the “shivery delta” of frogspawn as it starts to wriggle with tadpoles.
This beautiful pamphlet will delight readers at any time of year – a reminder that nature is always there, waiting to beguile us with its wonders.
