Field Notes from a Hidden City: An Urban Nature Diary by Esther Woolfson
3.0
Written ove the course of a year, Woolfson takes us on a stroll throughout Aberdeen, looking that the natural world around her in this very northern city. Looking at the the wild creatures that inhabit it, and the ones in her house too, she writes short and long entries on subject such as pigeons, slugs foxes and plants.
Some of the passages and entries are beautifully written, they are eloquent and inspirational. There are longer sections of the where she expands on subjects that are she is passionate about, but it feels like these haves been included in to add substance to the book. If only they had just left it as a diary it would have been much better. Really a 2.5 star read.
