Description
Enter the world of Scottish nature as seen through the lens and poems of Gerry Cambridge, one of Scotland's most distinctive contemporary poets. On film and in words, Cambridge brings unusual focus to bear on lives as diverse as those of dragonflies, hermit crabs, short-eared owls and wood anemones. The result is both an instructive look by a naturalist at some of the flora and fauna of Scotland and a poet's aesthetic journey.
