VOICES TO THE CLOUDS The Collective Nature Journal

VOICES TO THE CLOUDS, is more than merely a study with a fifteen year compass but a collection of gathered nature notes set in context with the writings of arguably England's greatest naturalists Gilbert White, John Clare and Richard Jefferies and others. The book is divided into 5 year sections and within each is a monthly narrative with climate tables, first butterfly sighting, birds and butterflies by month, top three daily birds, temperature and pressure summary, frost and heat sequences and more. The final section assembles all the data from the previous three sections and to conclude this collective nature journal there is a fulsome index. VOICES TO THE CLOUDS may best be described as another slice of the natural world that has been extrapolated from the toilsome drudgery of amassing observations for "experience proves that the longer a single locality is studied the more is found in it". Richard Jefferies 1885
