Over the past century gulls have been brought ashore by modernity, living in our slipstream, following trawlers, ploughs and now rubbish trucks. They are more our contemporaries than other birds, living their wild lives in towns and cities, grabbing a bite where they can. Our story is theirs too. In Landfill, Tim Dee follows gulls to rubbish dumps, meets gull-watchers, discovers ancient poets, Victorian novelists and learns how gulls continue to tell us how the wild can share our world, if we'd only listen.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43205753995442,"sku":"9781915068040","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781915068040.jpg?v=1786030387"},{"product_id":"9780099516491","title":"The Running Sky","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Running Sky\u003c\/i\u003e records a lifetime of looking at birds. Begining in summer with clouds of breeding seabirds in Shetland and ending with crepuscular nightjars like giant moths in the heart of England, Tim Dee maps his own observations and encounters over four decades of tracking birds across the globe. He tells of near-global birds like sparrows, starlings and ravens, and exotic species, like electrically coloured hummingbirds in California and bee-eaters and broadbills in Africa. In doing so he brilliantly restores us to the primacy of looking, the thrill of watching, and takes us outside, again and again, to stand - with or without binoculars - under the storm of life over our heads, and to marvel once more at what is flying about us.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56223081398645,"sku":"9780099516491","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780099516491_a1b04199-41ba-46b3-8ae0-a6aa7a4523e7.jpg?v=1786010994"},{"product_id":"9781843517825","title":"Archipelago","description":"Archipelago is one of the most important and influential literary magazines of the lasttwenty years.
