A Private Sort of Life - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Naturalist and author Bridget MacCaskill has been observing otters for many years and studies undertaken with her late husband Don resulted in books and a film about otters and their environment. For those who wish to know more about the way of life of these fascinating creatures, this book presents an intimate account of an extended otter family.
It is written in the form of a story by an unseen observer and tells of the life of two otter cubs, from birth until adulthood, their relationship with their parents and the other otter family on the loch, and their interaction with some of the other creatures there. Enter Coll and Coire, Kyle and Kelpie.
The result is an enjoyable read that is true to nature, and not in the least sentimental. But it conveys a serious message - we must be aware of the need to minimise pollution, disruption of habitat and other harmful intrusions if we are to benefit from the presence of these wonderful creatures.
This book will appeal to everyone with an interest in otters, and all lovers of wildlife and the natural landscape.
