The Homing Instinct by Bernd Heinrich

‘Wonderful’ Sunday Telegraph

‘In the manner of the best new nature writing … [Heinrich’s] own story is as interesting and relevant as that of bees, beavers, and a pair of sandhill cranes that he knows as Millie and Roy … This combination of biology and psychology makes for a lively, knowledgeable narrative’ The Times
