About the Book

Get closer to the wild side of Ireland

From humpback whales to dandelions, Ireland's spectacular landscapes and varied habitats are home to a wonderful diversity of life. This book, and subsequent volumes in the series, is a celebration of all things wild on the island of Ireland.

It features a selection of the long-running profiles of Irish wildlife that have been running on the back page of Ireland's Own magazine since 2001, punctuated by selected natural history articles that have featured in a variety of high-profile publications including BBC Wildlife Magazine, The Countryman, Wild Ireland, The Irish Independent, The Evening Echo, The Irish Examiner, Ireland's Wildlife, The West Cork Times and others.

About Ireland's Wildlife

Lifelong wildlife enthusiast Calvin Jones set up Ireland's Wildlife in 2011 to encourage people to get closer to the wild side of Ireland. The site has grown to become one of Ireland's leading wildlife and nature resources, featuring an eclectic mix of wildlife content from feature articles to how-to's to gear reviews and more. Calvin also helps people get more hands-on experience with nature by running Discover Wildlife Experiences on the West Cork stretch of Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way, and through his work with primary school children as a Heritage Specialist on the Heritage Council of Ireland's Heritage in Schools scheme.

About the Author: Calvin Jones is an author with a vivid imagination and a knack for simplifying complicated things. He loves making stuff up, is enthralled by wildlife and intrigued by technology -- particularly the way it empowers collaboration and fosters disruption. So fantasy fiction, wildlife and nature writing and digital marketing books are all in a day's work. During a varied career, spanning several continents and more industries than you can shake a stick at, Calvin has been a marine biologist in Ireland, an English teacher and taco-vendor in Mexico, an office manager for a will-writing company in Wales, an IT trainer for a large UK utility company, a computer programmer, a quality assurance analyst in Australia, an IT project manager in lots of different places, a freelance journalist and of course a writer. Always a writer. Some suggest such a concoction of occupations smacks of a person who never really knew what he wanted to do, but Calvin argues he has always been a writer. The other stuff is just the window dressing that makes the writing interesting. That's his story anyway, and he's sticking to it! Originally from the North Wales coast, Calvin now lives in an old schoolhouse in rural West Cork, Ireland with his wife, three daughters, one remaining guinea pig, seven hens and an irritatingly self assured cockerel named after one of the dandy's in War and Peace. Living in the country was supposed to be peaceful, but so far it's not working out that way....
