Alan Jarrett - son of the saltmarsh
Sequel to 'Wildfowling Ways' this new book sees Alan Jarrett reflecting on a lifetime's involvement with wildfowling in Kent and finally spreading his wings and flying northward to Iceland.

Prefiguring 'Wildfowling North and South', in which he travels back to the Kent of his childhood, this book begins to explain the character of the saltmarsh and foreshore where he has always felt at home.

Reflecting the uneasy alliance between ornithology, wildfowling and conservation, this book gets us right up to our knees in the mud and out into the moonlight to appreciate the perspective of the enlightened hunter in his natural habitat.

Often alone in remote places, Alan Jarrett takes us with him on an odyssey which is populated by the many familiar and unfamiliar inhabitants of the shoreline who come and go with the tide and the light - when most of us are still tucked up in bed.
