Maybe Gow changed his ways over the years, but I had to stop reading this book because he's an animal murderer. Big disappointment. Also, unnecessary vulgarities throughout.

Pg. 18: "Farmers of all ages and attires, in clothes new and old, would lounge and lean." I'm not entirely sure why this sentence stuck with me. I think it was at this point onward that I really began to appreciate the charming rhythm of the author's writing style, and from there on, it was just such a delightful read.

I admire the almost blunt, yet practical, hands-on approach to the actions we need to take. I can never read enough about rewilding, and I truly cherish this addition to my collection on the subject.

On my "re-read and annotate"-list.

Big thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read Birds, Beasts and Bedlam!

Enjoyable,and entertaining read about rewilding endeavours in the UK. The author’s writing style is enjoyable, captivating and illustrates beaurocratic nightmares for initiatives that seem entirely reasonable and sensible. Recommended. Thank you to the author. Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for an ARC.

The language was a bit hard to decipher which made it difficult to follow. That being said, the conservation efforts, love, and concern for animals, their habitats, and our planet was abundantly clear. We need more people like this and more done to protect what we have...and what we have left.
