Ray Armstrong has had a lifelong interest in wildlife, and this book is the culmination of over 25 years of keen observation in a small corner of Britain, centred in a Monmouthshire village near the rim of the picturesque Wye Valley.
Ray describes the rich diversity of wildlife that can be seen by the dedicated country lover. Together with his descriptions and anecdotes, he presents an outstanding collection of over 100 wildlife photographs, some of which are the result of many hours of patient waiting and watching in all weathers.
Viewed through the eyes of someone whose romance with the countryside and associated wildlife was initiated and nurtured at an early age, Time to Stare presents a sharp well defined focus that will appeal to nature lovers everywhere.
