The Running Sky records a lifetime of looking at birds. Begining in
summer with clouds of breeding seabirds in Shetland and ending with
crepuscular nightjars like giant moths in the heart of England, Tim Dee
maps his own observations and encounters over four decades of tracking
birds across the globe. He tells of near-global birds like sparrows,
starlings and ravens, and exotic species, like electrically coloured
hummingbirds in California and bee-eaters and broadbills in Africa.
In doing so he brilliantly restores us to the primacy of looking, the
thrill of watching, and takes us outside, again and again, to stand -
with or without binoculars - under the storm of life over our heads, and
to marvel once more at what is flying about us.
