Gilbert White – additional information

Thanks for tuning in to my talk at the Gilbert White 300th birthday festival! If you missed it, you will be able to watch it again here.

As promised, here are some links to various things mentioned in the talk:

The field cricket conservation project – part of the Back from the Brink programme, and the chirping sound of the field cricket described by Gilbert White.

And the scream of the swift – featured in Ted Hughes’s poem Swifts.

Books mentioned in the talk were Mark Cocker’s Claxton (also check out his A Claxton Diary – freshly out in paperback this week), Richard Mabey’s A Brush With Nature and my own Framing Nature – conservation and culture, which is published on 1 October and can be pre-ordered now.
