Overview
A sea-swimmer's account of the remarkable seabirds that inhabit our shores
Living on the coast for most of her life, Marianne Taylor has spent a lot of time in the company of wild seabirds. Whether she's swimming in the sea, doing some coastal birding or looking out of her window at home, she is fascinated by the dynamic activity of seabirds on land, in the air and in the water.
In Flying Underwater, Marianne visits Britain's coastal hotspots to swim among seabirds and experience their day-to-day lives at sea level. She writes about how sea life and sea-loving humans can interact and relates the story of our seabirds from her unique perspective as a lifelong birdwatcher and year-round sea swimmer.
Leading readers through the major and minor events that punctuate the seabird calendar, Marianne provides a unique insight into some of the most important seabird populations in the world and celebrates the diversity of seabirds that we are lucky to witness around our coastlines.
