    Author Patrick Barkham
    “Book Descriptions: So singular are the habits of our 59 species of butterfly that trying to find them can be difficult. Some live virtually unseen in Scottish bogs, others, such as the rarely spotted black hairstreak, never stray from the same tiny patch of land, while many more require certain exact temperatures and climate conditions to take to wing at all. Patrick Barkham recounts the year he spent tracking down as many as he could, from a speckled wood hanging out in a willow tree by the Thames, to a mountain ringlet atop a crag in the Lake District. Illustrated.”
